MediaX Memes
We explored the currency of Political Memes and how these creative and funny rendition of cultural images have affected and in fact, been used to propel social and political issues.
MediaX Indigenous Peoples
We explained the concept of “Othering” and how it is used to represent Indigenous Peoples (IPs) in Philippine media. We invite media literacy advocates to find alternative means to represent our IPs.
MediaX Women
We evaluated and analyzed how media represent women and the reasons behind it. We laid down various representations or images as seen primarily on television shows and films, and asked feminist advocates to deconstruct such images.
