Registration is now open for Purple Reign: An interdisciplinary conference on the life and legacy of Prince, a three day international conference hosted by the School of Arts and Media, University of Salford, UK and the Department of Recording Industry, Middle Tennessee State University, USA.
The conference, taking place between 24th-26th May 2017, will provide fresh perspectives on the creative and commercial dimensions of Prince’s career, re-examining the meanings of his work in the context of his unexpected death.
Purple Reign presents a timely consideration of the cultural impact, iconic status of Prince and his global legacies across many media platforms. It will examine all aspects of his creative output and the ways in which it intersects with video, performance, literature, theatre, film, digital culture, design and fashion.
We will address the issue of Prince’s significant influence and lasting appeal from a number of multi-disciplinary perspectives. We are welcoming scholars from across the globe, in the fields of popular music, gender studies, television, film and celebrity studies, visual arts, performance studies, and digital media.
Our keynote addresses will be delivered by Dez Dickerson, Prince’s guitarist from The Revolution, and Professor Sarah Niblock, (University of Westminster) co-author of Prince: the Making of a Pop Music Phenomenon.
HOME arts centre will also mark the event by screening the 1986 musical drama Under the Cherry Moon.
