The Situationist concepts of psychogeography and the the dérive are still very much at our hearts and together with Culture Jamming are some of the things Memefest is looking lately into with fresh eyes.

Dear comrades,
our friends from Universidad Caldas in Manizales Colombia have made this video to draw attention to the extremely bad situation in Colombian higher education, which has reached a stage that urged some of the professors and a student to begin with hunger strikes.
