Welcome to the first edition of “Out in the Loop — Global Pop Cultures
Festival” by Shared Campus!
Shared Campus is a unique cooperation platform of 13 leading
international arts universities. The forthcoming mini festival will
showcase our activities around one of five core themes:
“Pop Cultures.” In our opinion, pop cultures are one of the main driving
forces in the globalisation and innovation of cultures. Pop is also a
sphere where politics, identities, and social questions are negotiated.
It is characterized by the interplay between “high and low,” mainstream
and subculture, academia and entertainment.
The festival includes (1) an international symposium on “Real Fake,
Fake Realness,” (2) the launch of “Journal of Global Pop Cultures,” a new
online publication format, (3) the final presentations of the 2022
Summer School with participants from all arts disciplines and six partner
universities (Hong Kong, Tokyo, Taipei, Amsterdam, London, and
Zurich), and (4) a supporting programme featuring installations,
performances, DJs, and well-known pop bands from Berlin and
Bucharest!
All events are free and open to everyone, interested! Join us at our congenial open-air, bar and catering at the back of the Toni-Areal!
