Sometimes Art House x Alternatives for Girls

Unlearning

Led by Audrey Matusz and Camille Thomas the Sometimes Art House X Alternatives For Girls Collaboration was a 12-week language arts workshop where AFG participants were tasked with creating their own "best friend" trope. This process started with broad discussions about racism and sexism in American media; in conjunction with practicing decoding, synthesizing and analyzing popular relationship memes from Instagram and Twitter. Through the 3-month program, participants were asked, in various ways, to reflect on "what kind of friend" they are. This conversation was inspired by the "Black Best Friend" trope commonly used in Western media.
