Vexing: Female voices in East LA punk

Vexing: Female voices in East LA punk

The punk rock music scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s in East Los Angeles provided an electrically charged, creative climate where almost anything could happen. This created an atmosphere where performance mixed with poetry, and visual culture was defined by an aesthetic of daring experimentation and an attitude of fun. The exhibition features photo, video and audio archives of the era as well as studio work encompassing painting, installation, writings and performance.
