Explore the imagery and social commentary of pop culture in this behind-the-scenes talk from the Detroit Institute of Arts. Artists in the 1960s celebrated American modern culture while also creating artworks that conveyed the social and political commentary of the times. Explore pieces that both critique and celebrate mass media and popular culture. The global pandemic has put many things in perspective. In 2021, Smart Towns programs will focus on the many ways humans have found to solve problems and find inspiration during difficult periods.
