What does it mean to be a "real man" in 2021? What ideas are associated with the term - and should it not be replaced or supplemented by more differentiated views?

The Goethe-Institutes in India & Bangladesh, in an international conference (online-English) brought together intellectual and cultural perspectives from experts and artists from South Asia and Europe on the theme of masculinities.
 
We came together to explore what it means to be ‘a real man’ in 2020s and how men are perceived and masculinity constructed in media, art and performances. And how does all that make young humans, who understand themselves as males, feel?
 
A multi-faceted approach through discussions, exhibitions, workshops and performances will keep you engaged interestingly.
