Understanding how we make meaning from photography constitutes a key element of media literacy. Our perceptions of news, privacy, awareness, the past and the present are culturally and emotionally anchored in the visual reality that we perceive in photographs. This "Conversation Wall" exhibition in the Spencer's 20/21 Gallery seeks to generate conversations around questions of media literacy and how “media memes” or cultural ideas and categories of visual information are produced and transmitted over several generations.
