This rotating exhibit highlights the changing nature of stardom in pop culture. How do we decide what joins the canon and what is temporary? In 2025, pop music is at the forefront- Chappell Roan's rise to stardom lets us pay attention to displaying queer artists, further exemplified by the display of the Jobu Tupaki costume from Everything Everywhere All At Once. The recent cultural memory is interspersed with longstanding ones. What are some iconic television shows that immediately come to mind? Through this exhibit, we showcase MOPOP's acquisition strategies and the decisions taken to ensure the holistic representation of pop culture artifacts. Game of Thrones and the Power Rangers are both iconic TV series from different parts of the world. Pop culture is global, as a museum, it is our role to display and care for it.

Artists: Chappell Roan, Stephanie Hsu, Power Rangers, Robert Baratheon, Uncredited prop makers and costume designers
