To bridge the gap between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary digital expression. This workshop treats the smartphone as a modern "chisel" for creating Digital Folk Art.
PHILOSOPHY
Just as punk songs were a rapid response to social conditions, we use Meme Aesthetics—speed, grit, and humor—to document and remix local culture.
"IF FOLK ART ONCE LIVED IN WOOD, FABRIC, AND SONG, IT NOW ALSO LIVES IN PHONES, FOLDERS, AND GROUP CHATS."
WHY IT MATTERS
The next generation lives in a digital vernacular. By using tools in their pockets, we democratize "Mastery" and ensure culture remains radical.
OFFLINE PROTOCOL
100% Offline. We use powerful mobile tools to ensure the creative process is never interrupted by a signal drop.
