A- Political Act: How Memes are becoming India’s Digital Protest Art

The interactive presentation explores how memes function as a form of subversive art, turning viral trends into acts of resistance. Memes break down the distinction between creator and audience, transforming consumers into co-creators.

It traces the rise of meme culture from simple internet jokes to a vital form of digital communication. In India, where humour and satire often serve as tools for political dissent, memes acquire new meaning. Unlike traditional political cartoons, meme creation demands nothing more than a smartphone, sharp wit, and an understanding of internet culture.

Kabiran is a content creator and writer who experiments with humour and satire. Through A-political Act, she works to create a participatory digital archive that examines how memes democratise dissent, challenge propaganda, and reshape political engagement in the digital age.
