ASIA POP

18 September 2025 - 23 May 2026

Comics, film, food and much more – East Asian pop culture has become a decisive force in shaping the global mainstream. With ASIA POP, the NRW-Forum presents the first comprehensive exhibition in Germany devoted to this development and its cultural-political, economic and aesthetic influence. From kawaii characters such as Hello Kitty and animated films by Studio Ghibli, to K-pop groups like BTS and games such as Black Myth: Wukong, ASIA POP presents the full breadth of East Asian popular culture. In Düsseldorf, home to Germany’s largest East Asian community, the NRW-Forum presents a visual, sonic and culinary panorama across 1,200 square metres and around 400 works.
