At NERAM we want to make sure that while our community is being responsible by staying home that they are still connected to art, culture and entertainment. So we are bringing you a new series called Quarantine Culture that points you in the direction of art related content that you can access from home.
Quarantine Culture #4 is our Front of House Coordinator, May Zarb’s top 10 favourite art history and museum inspired memes.
Now to get a bit intellectual for a second, millennial nihilistic meme culture and absurdist humour has been considered another wave of Neo-Dadaism or ‘Millennial Neo-Dadaism’. You can read about it here, here, and here. Now remember a Millennial is anyone born between 1981 and 1996, at youngest we are 23.
