Non-Violent Instagram Parodies

This Fake Instafeed is in Honor of the Birthday of Mahatma Gandhi

— October 8, 2013 — Social Media
To celebrate what would have been the 144th birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, Buzzfeed created images to support what the non-violent leader's Instagram feed would look like. The peaceful protesting political icon would have celebrated his birthday on October 2nd, earlier this week.

The fake instagram pictures depict a variety of important historical events, including his fasting and meeting with important figures. In true social media fashion, humorous hashtags are included. It appears Gandhi would have observed Instatrends like selfies and Throw Back Thursday. The vast majority of photos are in black in white, which might have to do with the technology at the time when we has alive, or shows a preference for Willow and Inkwell filters.

In honor of the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, it's worth considering ways we can all be the change we wish to see in the world.
Trend Themes
1. Fake Instafeed for Historical Leaders - Creating humorous social media content imagining how historical figures like Mahatma Gandhi would have used Instagram can be a powerful way to engage younger audiences with important historical and social justice issues.
2. Humorous Hashtags for Serious Topics - Using humor and popular social media trends like hashtags can help to make serious or difficult topics relatable and more accessible to a wider audience.
3. Merging Old and New Media - Mixing traditional media like black and white photography with modern social media platforms like Instagram can create new, unique and engaging content for audiences.
Industry Implications
1. Social Media Marketing - Ad agencies and social media strategists can use this approach to attract younger audiences to social justice and political campaigns.
2. Entertainment and Media - Production companies, TV networks and streaming platforms can create fun and educational content based on cultural figures and historical events.
3. Art and Design - Art galleries, museums and designers can create exhibitions and installations that combine old and new media to explore history and social justice topics.
