Grab your favorite witch hat and witch’s brew and come down to Scrappy! We will get creative, clever, and critical as we culture-jam with tarot cards! Wait, what’s culture-jamming?! Culture-jamming is the practice of taking a well-known image and changing/editing it to fit your message, like a parody. Think of it as you’re “jamming” two different ideas: you’re taking something popular, like the tarot card of “The Lovers,” and you’re adding your own "spin" to it, such as making the lovers two women, thus making a personal statement about what love looks like to you. In this space, we’re encouraging you to get personal and to make new friends!

In this class, we’ll look at a few famous culture-jamming examples, like the Harry Potter Alliance, an organization that uses parody to fight for social change (rather than fighting Lord Voldemort). We will also briefly look at the art history of tarot cards and the astonishing range of visual styles. You will determine a personal message that you want to share with the world and which iconic tarot card would be best to jam with! You will get to choose your preferred art form, such as using watercolors, ink, collage, etc. We will have an array of options. You’ll leave the class with a meaningful piece of art and, hopefully, some new witchy friends!
