Popakademie Talks

In the “Popakademie Talks” series, guests from the music and culture sector talk about various current topics.

The Popakademie initiated the talk series in 2021 to respond to current issues and invite artists and creative professionals to discuss current topics. The talks are moderated by Head of Studies Prof. Dr. David-Emil Wickström, among others.

As part of the Popakademie Talks during the 2026 summer semester, the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg is collaborating with the University of Mannheim and the MARCHIVUM on the topic of “Music made in Mannheim.” In addition to the talks, joint courses will be held at the Popakademie and the University in close collaboration with the MARCHIVUM. A group from the Popakademie’s project workshop is also affiliated with the project. This is the first collaboration of its kind between the institutions in Mannheim.

The current dates of Popakademie Talks can be found in the Calendar.

Participation is free. Just stop by the Popakademie—no registration required!
