Do Remember Me

Do Remember Me The art of youth activism... (Levine Donald(ed), “ Simmel: On individuality and social forms”.

Per Simmel, culture refers to ‘ the cultivation of individuals through the agency of external forms which have been objectified in the course of history’. Chicago University 1971
The Do Remember Me project is designed to explore, examine and critique the media and social objectification of youth and the consequences within the individual and community. The question is how to individually and colle

ctively reshape this reflection of a community from within. Beginning within the self (household, neighborhood, community), radiating finally to transforming the institutions, systems and structures while utilizing technology and art (blogs, video/film, music). Based on the short film ‘Do Remember Me’, a series of workshops evolved that was designed to use art as a social advocacy tool and creating a voice of activism for youth in Philadelphia, New York, Tanzania, Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya, Paris and Kazakhstan. The workshops utilize technology to connect youth via SKYPE to invoke positive dialogue between the youth to dispel myths of hopelessness, media stereo types and cultural differences to delve deeper and find common ground, experiences and work toward actively supporting one another, encouraging activism and advocacy for issues such as peer violence, absence of leaders and heroes, and many other pressing issues.
