Hacking Global Pop Icons
15 August - 3 September 2022

Hacking Global Pop Icons is a practice-based three-week summer school. It will explore the relationship between global pop cultures and local identities through examining the political, social, technological and historical dimensions of (mass) production and reception. A global pop icon serves as the common starting point for cultural analysis and for the transdisciplinary production of new works seeking to deconstruct, remix and expand the influence of the chosen icon. The overarching theme for 2022 is "Real Fake / Fake Realness".
