In the organizer's words:
Registration: welcome@gfzk.de
Johanna Maj Schmidt is an artist and social scientist. In this workshop, Schmidt explains what memes are and how the extreme right uses memes, for example to spread anti-feminist content. Participants will interpret selected memes together. Schmidt will then present the results of her research project.
Johanna Maj Schmidt studied political science in Bremen and art and politics at Goldsmiths University in London. In 2022, she graduated with Clemens von Wedemeyer (Expanded Cinema class) at the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig. In her artistic practice, she combines film, performance and painting to investigate the influence of online spheres on social coexistence. Schmidt works at the Else-Frenkel-Brunswick Institute for Democracy Research in Leipzig and is doing her doctorate in the research training group "Right-wing populism - authoritarian developments, extreme-right discourses and democratic resonances" at the Universities of Cologne and Leipzig on the question of how the heroic is expressed in right-wing internet memes. Her video work We Must Be Mistaken, in which she portrays two different social groups side by side, can be seen in the exhibition Something Between Us: Feminists and so-called incels (involuntary celibates).
