how can young people create a better world?
This Guy Fawkes mask has become a symbol for activism in the 21st Century. Connected to the hacktivist group "Anonymous," and widely recognized in the radical activism-rooted movie, V for Vendetta, this mask symbolizes social justice and defiance. In the movie, V states "words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth." If History shows us one thing, it's that young generations show no rest until their words are heard- their truths told. In this studio, you will be examining student activism from the past and present, understanding its purpose and impact. Furthermore, you will be identifying issues in your own community and creating an action plan to address them. It's time to speak your truth.
