Episode 3 | Memes and Pranks as Sites of Intervention and Photographic Discourse
Description
One major event of photographic development worldwide is its use in vernacular communication, which is a fancy word of saying everyday conversations. Photography in Memes and Pranks shared in social media constitutes a huge part of this trend of the vernacular use of images. However, as in the case of our guest tonight, the use of Photography in a prank, and later on taking the form of a meme, show an interesting take on Memes and Pranks as it is used to point out, to intervene, and to comment on the Filipino-American representation in a marketing campaign of a giant fast-food chain.
Thank you for joining us tonight for Episode 3 of the Marites Talks: Kwentuhan Sessions on Philippine Photography, entitled, Meme and Pranks as Sites of Intervention and Photographic Discourse. We have Mr. Christian Toledo.
