01 / THE CHARTER
Change what the institution is for.
A worthwhile idea deserves a form people can feel. A line they repeat. An image they recognize. A small invitation that travels farther than the explanation that first contained it.
Meme Agency is a proposed creative practice for bringing public-minded ideas into culture. The aim is to find the human meaning, preserve what is true, and make the result memorable enough to share.
A successful transmission leaves people with more agency. It helps them understand, connect, or begin. The creative brief is open: make something worth carrying forward.
This is the founding charter: an invitation to develop the ideas below.
02 / THE PRINCIPLES
Keep the truth in the remix.
Make the simple version faithful to the important details.
