BABY, IT'S A
LOOK
POP MUSIC, FASHION & STYLE AT THE EDGE
POPCON 2025 | MARCH 13 - 15
The 2025 PopCon/IASPM-US Joint Conference invites proposals that listen with intensity to the frequencies of creative rebellion, agitation, or revolt as they intersect with the edges of pop music, style, and fashion. We welcome presentations that explore how style offers a new version, a remix, or an edit of the world we live in and the realities, struggles, and contingencies we face, leading us on a journey toward the edge of what’s to come.
Traditional papers, panels and roundtable discussions are eligible, but in PopCon spirit we are especially interested in unusual, self-contained, lo-fi experimental presentations; interventions, performances, critical listening sessions, collaborative workshops or demonstrations; and other non-traditional experiments in presentation format. Proposals are accepted through November 15, 2024.
