joan.of.arca (Sophie Browning) is certain that one day memes will end up in the Smithsonian. “I always say they are a form of historical document, providing insight into the cultural attitudes and political climates of the time in which they were made,” says the meme creator and co-host of the podcast “Based News Network.” ⁣
 ⁣
Sophie is a guiding star for the extremely online. “I think the way I bring ‘feminist energy’ to my memes is simply by being unapologetically myself and that often involves discussing girls’ and women’s experiences,” she says. “I’m a woman, and I love stereotypically feminine things, like fashion and celebrities, but I also love history and politics.” ⁣
 ⁣
So, where do great memes come from? “Sometimes there are days when I’m hit with a burst of energy and inspiration, and I literally cannot stop making memes.” ⁣

joan.of.arca is one of 24 young, unique, difference-makers and catalysts we love who is sparking the cultural zeitgeist. #24for24 😂 ⁣
