Culture

The Sixties was a period of global change, not to mention a time of intercultural exchange and shifting power structures. It was also the moment when the term “globalisation” entered into popular usage. An increasingly important mediascape contributed not only to the ease with which people located at the far corners of the globe interacted and communicated, but also to the increased influence they had on one another. Through photo essays and texts focusing on politics, art, design and architecture, fashion and pop culture, an international group of experts explores the complexity, dynamics, and timeless appeal of one of the most vibrant periods in modern history.
