What is "metamodernism"?
Metamodernism is an art and cultural movement that blends elements from both modernism and postmodernism. It seeks to combine the optimism and idealism of modernism with the skepticism and irony of postmodernism. This approach often involves exploring new ideas and forms while also acknowledging and addressing past styles and concepts. In essence, metamodernism embraces a mix of hope and doubt, looking for balance between progress and reflection in art and culture.
