“Social media and the way it works, as well as how many of us use it as a primary form of communication, is essentially turning each person into a sort of simulacrum.” — Brett William Smulligan #MMC941 #bcm325

Are we #trapped in a #cycle of #perpetual #simulation? What is real without #origin or #reality? What is #hyperreal? Jean Baudrillard that explores #reality, #representation, and #simulation in "Simulacra and Simulation" published in 1981. #MMC941 #bcm325

Like mentioned by Bell Hooks, the oppositional gaze has transformative potential to disrupt and change dominant narratives in mainstream media. #MMC941 #bcm325

How does the #oppositional #gaze #transform #identity? And how can this concept by Bell Hooks guide Middle Eastern women to #challenge #limiting #media #portrayals? #MMC941 #bcm325

One of my favourite things to do in my free time is visiting #art #galleries and #museums — seeing different pieces of history represented through paintings, sculptures and artefacts; pieces frozen in time, if you will. #MMC941 #bcm325

This could be an issue especially when particular museums or exhibitions begin to #reinforce particular #narratives. #MMC941 #bcm325
