Team Funny Name Media Portfolio

Artist Statement

Our portfolio is a compilation of pieces that speak to the important role that media plays in the spread of information regarding climate change. It combines creative projects of different formats, including an informative poster, a selection of internet memes, and TikTok/reel style videos. Our poster aims to explain how climate change is portrayed in the media and how we should respond to this portrayal. It also delves into how misinformation about climate change is spread. This ties to our TikTok/reel videos, which directly aim to combat common misconceptions about climate change. Finally, our meme content aims to poke innocent but important fun at climate change and its media representation. We hope that through this portfolio, we can inspire our viewers to gain more confidence in their knowledge of climate change, and that they can also gain more confidence in their ability to engage in argumentative dialogue about climate change with those who do not believe in its very real existence. This 

confidence is of the utmost importance to and should be in the best interest of those who feel they aren’t doing enough to spread climate awareness. We hope to spread awareness of the issue we are all facing ourselves, and we hope that we inspire people to spread awareness of this problem themselves.
