MetropolCon
MetropolCon 2023 is a multimedia
event that aims to bring together the three major speculative genres. Science
fiction, fantasy and horror will be presented, celebrated, discussed, and
analyzed in all their shapes and forms. While MetropolCon is rooted in the classic
convention format, thriving to this day with its separate fandoms and target
audiences, we want to forge new paths and show speculative fiction in its
engaging entirety.
No longer nerdy or niche,
but rather ubiquitous: Speculative writing and thinking – “the fantastic” – has
had an increasingly significant influence on literature, film, TV, games, art
& music, science & research. One that transcends former boundaries and
shatters them.
A new era also calls
for new forms of exchange, new meeting places and platforms for dealing with
fictional futures, real fears, and the dazzling possibilities of our
imagination(s).
MetropolCon 2023 will
bring all of you together: new and experienced con-goers, self-published
writers and publishing houses, readers and gamers, indie studios and major
players, streamers and influencers, artists, scientists and researchers, cosplayers,
LARP and RPG aficionados, specialist audiences and fandoms – simply put: everyone
interested in the speculative, the weird and the wonderful.
This mix of
conference, festival and fair of ideas is organized by the registered, non-profit
association L.O.K.I. e.V. Details about
the program will follow; there will be both German- and English-language
program items.
