calling all girls, femmes, & thems of new york city- it’s the crossover event you’ve manifested

expose your introspection on contemporary cyberfeminist meme studies you’ve been meaning to find the community to intellectualize with, all while you’re creating your 2026 moodboard!

we’ll start our communing with presentations by Sophie Browning (@joan.of.arca) on the history of Victorian scrapbooking and its connection to meme-making followed by Kristin Merilees’s (@kristinmerrilees) research on feminist Instagram meme pages.

then, using memes as our tools for self construction, we’ll scrapbook 2026 moodboards with printed images, archives of art criticism magazines, and text ripped from the internet of icons and motifs created and commonly used within femme online networks to communicate states of wellbeing. our diaristic moodboards will be preserved as digital copies on a dedicated Instagram account following the event as open-sources for future citations but also to muse over each other’s aesthetic perspectives via commenting and reposting.

tea, sparkling waters, and stationary materials will be provided!
