I know some people mean well, but some people mostly from rich Western countries travel to poorer countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America to pretend volunteer, make themselves feel better, and to post photos on Instagram to get likes. Most go to teach English and they are not even qualified to teach. 🙄🙄🙄 The last thing people from the Global South need is an inflow of unskilled labour. As voluntourism needs a lot of money, some locals even go as far as to create fake orphanages just for the sake of serving these tourists.

The media producer creates a vision of reality for the consumer. I think Pablo Picasso's portraits over his life showcase this; he is our "narrator," and it is up to us to understand how his perspective changes what he created and how we understand reality.

We all consume media. Nothing wrong with that. That's where we learn, find cool things, and stay updated with what's happening in our communities and the world. Unfortunately, we sometimes (or most of the time) consume too much information whether unintentionally or deliberately.

I'm not really sure how this picture can "teach" someone about lessening their media consumption, but it's good to be reminded from time to time through this picture.

Many people online have issues identifying satire and understanding its purpose. This painting is a great example of satire or political art, without being a propaganda poster or political cartoon.

1. Inaccurate portrayals in the media of how Covid-19 was caused by Chinese. This has caused discrimination and hate towards all Asians.
2. This work shows an Asian woman being pointed at and blamed. She is a college student and this demonstrates how inaccurate and discriminatory information in media, can harm individuals and communities. This can be used to teach us to be conscious of what media you consume, and if it is discriminatory.

1. Understand how hate speech can affect those behind the screens.

2. An interactive performance where the audience can see and interact with their surroundings. The performers will have media devices and will react to the hate speech that they read. This way, the audience will see how this issue impacts the lives of others. This work can teach the responsibility that we have as users and raise awareness about the careful usage of words.

Sensitive stories and vulnerable victims

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to teach empathy and compassion in story telling when dealing with people who have sensitive stories or are victims of some trauma. I think one form of art that can teach this is a “What I Wore” exhibit. These exhibits will evoke a lot of emotion, and I hope those emotions include empathy and compassion. These exhibits humanize the people. They aren’t just interviews; they aren’t just another story for the paper; they are real people that have already been harmed. It is important to be considerate in the way you tell that story in order to avoid extra harm.

I love this photo because it very clearly shows the lies that can be spoon fed to you just by glancing at your phone. Sometimes the liars penetrate your thoughts without your consent.

I think if people are shown more cartoons like this they will be more in tune with news and deliberate with what they read.

The piece will be a participatory performance work where participants will spend the course of a weekend (Friday night through Sunday afternoon) living, eating, sleeping, and talking in a common space. In the center of a space will be a large, smooth piece of limestone with simple tools to carve words into the stone. Participants may speak about anything they like, but if they want to speak about something of which they cannot personally attest to the veracity, they must first carve a statement describing the thing into the limestone. The media literacy focus here is twofold. First, participants will have to consider whether what they want to speak about is worth the work, which has implications for social media use after the weekend. If you would not take the time to carve it into stone, is it truly worth sharing on social media? Or is it simply more noise? Second, participants will spend time during the carving to subconsciously reflect on whether what they are sharing is realistic, which will encourage further research before commencing the carving process. By slowing down the information sharing process, the negative effects caused by the rapid nature of social media will be forcibly mitigated for the duration of the experience, and hopefully for some time afterwards.

I would want to help audience members evaluate the impact of major events in our lives by seeing visual representations of the people affected and being able to interact with that data. This video is an example of this, with showing one icon to represent a thousand people killed during World War II which then is animated into different collections. It just really helps the viewer see the people behind the numbers.

We all spend ridiculous amounts of time online / on social media / on our phones. To me, this artwork portrays just that - time is a construct; it's not real...but still, it's our most precious ressource. We all need to rethink our personal situations (and especially kids need to be limited with the time they get to spend online!) and cut our screen time. Social media can be super addicitve and I know for a fact that I'm struggling with that. (Larissa Eichler)

Online, how we speak is tone deaf. We are anonymous icons with opinions. By reminding ourselves that we are speaking to real people, we will realize that polarization is only created to fuel the internet fire, and that thoughtful discussions and debates can be respecting and thought-provoking when we are reminded of who it is that we are speaking to.

I believe that this picture shows the de-humanization when it come to media curation, especially in life or death situations. When we consume media, we have to take into account the time and the context around when the photo was taken.

When people looked at this image when it first released, the revered in its capturing of the destitute conditions of African children. So much so that the photographer won awards and made them famous. Yet the photographer’s first instinct was not to remove the child, shelter him from the predator or provide him needed nourishment. His first reaction was to set up a camera and take a picture. Thus changing the significance of the photo from bring awareness to causing human harm for the sake of art.

I want to teach about the pressure of social media engagement. People have a tremendous amount of stress put upon them from a young age to get likes, comments, and followers. This artwork perfectly shows this concept. You see a child crying with a phone in his hand and his social media statistics (all at zero) hovering over him. This is causing him to break down and cry.

An aspect of media literacy that I would like to address is that the root cause of misinformation is the increasing polarization that is going on in most countries. We are often so divided by politics and that feeds into our confirmation bias and increases the likelihood of people spreading misinformation in order to prove their political points of views. What artwork first came to mind was Nam June Paik’s Electronic Superhighway: Continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii. Paik intended this artwork to suggest the highways although they still connect us, each state still has their own unique characteristics.  I thought this would be a great artwork to show the opposite; despite the unique identities and polarizing media constantly being displayed to us in a way that appeals to that certain audience, we are still all interconnected in a way that we all want what’s best for us. We are all still human and we need to recognize the extent to which the media aggregates polarization even within the same states. Not only does this artwork showcase all the media that constantly surrounds us, but we see the same colors in the highways reappearing all throughout the U.S. map.

# data[].attributes.body
Being on social media can be very draining and overwhelming for many, there’s a lot of unrealistic expectations places on people to look a certain way. The artwork would be self portraits of “real people” and they are sharing and being vulnerable to be able to uplift others. Everyone has different body shapes and that should be celebrated rather than shamed.

Throughout the seminar we have learned that vulnerability and storytelling allows us to connect with ourselves and those around us. It aids in recognizing yourself as fragile humans which contributes to our humanity. This art work demonstrates a story that is difficult to share, and the artist has been known for "portray figurative scenes of symbolic and mythical worlds."

Aspect of media literacy: To promote global understanding while developing critical thinking skills about mass media and popular culture among young children.

Dr. Renee Hobbs, founder and director of the media education lab, once did an experiment to explore the stereotypes that children in the US had about different places in the Middle East. She suggests that media literacy eduction is crucial for combatting this issue.

Artwork: I believe that movies could help either combat or reinforce negative media stereotypes of the peoples and cultures of the Middle East.

In order to increase knowledge, tolerance, and acceptance, children would watch the movie Aladdin together and critically analyze it. They would try to uncover the stereotypes and ideally create an alternative movie/narrative that would counter the stereotypes and misconceptions that they uncovered.

Aspect of media literacy: Racism, Sexism, and the unheard voices of the victims

The art performance by Mutu challenges historical perspectives on racism, sexism, and many other issues surrounding historical beliefs. Usually, August Rodin’s  “the thinker”  sits alone in the courtyard and looms above those walking by and approaching the museum’s front door. Yet Mutu installed her four works, Shavasna I, Shavasna II, Crocodylus, and Mama Ray, to surround The thinker, and in so doing, she upstaged the viewers to reflect on the characters displayed, that all represent neglected or scattered historical personalities.

Type:
Social Experiment

Description:
Create an human exhibition where around 20 women are standing still next to each other (all wearing slim fit skin color overalls covering their entire body, no make-up on, only lipstick each women has a different color) and people coming in are asked to identify which woman is a virgin and which isn’t just by looking at them.
Ending the exhibition with a flashmob where the women turn their back one after the other to share a statement on eliminating the usage of the word virginity and its misuse in Media.
Finally, sharing brochures explaining why we chose to do this experiment and how this word has a religious and social connotation and has negatively affected the lives of women and girls. And how it is only a violation to women's rights.

We usually come to conclusions without digging into the political, economical and historical factor where news are made. It is important to understand and search the context of each one. These artworks represent the different political situations. Art is free, but it’s not neutral because most of the times it’s marked by the historial moment that it’s in, like news also.
