The networking travel, hosted by Goethe-Institut in cooperation with Missy Magazine, focuses on intersectional feminist perspectives of women working in arts and culture, particularly in relation to pop culture. It aims at bringing together cultural practitioners, artists, activists from Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Germany to share ideas and practices, engage in a dialogue and discuss strategies to connect feminist viewpoints with popular culture to create spaces for female* voices and expand their audience.
 
During the 10-day trip from 15-25 August 2018 to Berlin, Germany the participants will visit the 2018 edition of the festival Pop-Kultur, as well as various cultural events and meet with diverse initiatives, individuals and institutions that work on the intersection of feminism and popular culture in Berlin.
 
The program is fully funded by the Goethe-Institut.
