I met Violetta at How Memes Shaped the War in Ukraine: a discussion by Violetta Petrova (@violettearth) & Aloiso Wilmoth (@moma.ps5)

The conversation by @saintjavelin at ChaShaMa is an intersection of media, politics, and culture in the context of the war in Ukraine that was curated by Artist Ira Lupu and in part of the Ukrainian Perspectives: Photography from the 1940s to now.

Aloiso Wilmoth is a DJ and Producer by the name He Valencia but you may know him famously as MoMA PS5. If Meme pages could be DJs and musicians performing at Coachella, MoMA PS5 would be headliner. Obviously this would be called… Memechella.

The two embark on cultural criticism and the vibes were brought that day when I met those two. It’s like when 2 Instagram pages make a meme together, tag each other and say made with said IG name but in real life.

Please welcome Violetta Patrova and Aloiso Wilmoth to Wear Many Hats.

Russia bombed its home turf.

I know colleges are moving fast with classes and teaching whatever but I took an advertising class where I had to make memes for one of my projects. It might has well been called Meme class.
