Additional Details

Humor has long been a powerful tool for artists to challenge, critique, and reflect on the world around them. From the biting wit of satirical cartoons to the absurdity of surrealist art, humor has allowed artists to communicate profound truths in unexpected ways. In the Weisman’s Laughing Matter exhibition, we explore the role of humor throughout art history—how it has served not just as entertainment, but as a lens to understand culture, identity, and society.
Tap into your creativity and sense of humor by creating your own comedic work. This activity is designed by Minneapolis-based artist, Kameron White, and encourages storytelling through visuals, allowing you to explore character development, comedic timing, and creative expression.

Kameron White is a Comic Artist, Illustrator, and designer. He aims to create bold and diverse, colorful characters, illustrations, and stories within his work. As an Afro-Indigenous, queer, and disabled individual, he's been in a place where not seeing yourself represented can affect you immensely. Rather than let it discourage him, it powers him to move forward and turn this scenario around, making sure people see their stories represented. Some of his clients include DC Milestone, Indiginerds: Tales of a Modern Indigenous Life, Becoming Who We Are, PBS, The City of Houston, Walker Art Center, International African American Museum, and more!
Drop-in, Self-Guided Art Activity
Each month, WAM presents a self-guided art-making activity inspired by an art piece or artist from the museum's collection. Everything you need to make your own masterpiece is provided and the activity is designed to be accessible and open to all. Drop-in during open hours and get creative!
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. Additional general operating support is generously provided by Ameriprise Financial and the Art and Martha Kaemmer Fund of HRK Foundation.
