MYKE – Hacking the Manosphere

Performance in the series: FEM 01 with Katharina Kraft, Luzia Oppermann and Caspar Weimann

When is a man a man? There are countless videos on TikTok in particular that convey intimidating and often violence-glorifying ideas of masculinity. The MYKE project counters this role model on social media by posting videos of young men played by actors. They talk about the loneliness, constraints and conflicts of this supposedly "tough" masculinity - and thus open up a space for reflection and encounters beyond the stereotypical and radicalized images of men.
