<div>Memes have taken on unprecedented cultural significance in the last two decades, as social media has become a ubiquitous means of communication. The significance of these seemingly insignificant images goes far beyond their obvious capacity to visually transmit a joke--memes move mountains; they've swayed elections after all. More importantly, it is their capacity to foster community among people invested and interested in niche topics. <br><br>The memes Santiago creates are invested in contemporary art, theory, and highlight the traditional art world's contradictions. These memes are a thoughtful testament to a deep appreciation for the world of art. By bringing the memes on chain, it creates a space for these pieces to exist as a collectible art and elevates them as a legitimate art form. <br><br>Santiago is releasing his first NFTs as a series of memes originally posted on <a target="_blank" className="underline" href="https://instagram.com/servingthepeople">@servingthepeople</a>. This series reimagines the confines of what is considered art and paves the way for meme accounts and creators to retain ownership of their work. A portion of the proceeds from the secondary sale will be donated to the STP Creative Foundation. Keep an eye out for his series set to launch in May.</div>
