Some of punk’s most influential movements and identities—Riot Grrrl, Afropunk, queercore, Latino hardcore, and straight edge—emerged as a challenge to sexism, racism, homophobia, and excess in punk culture. Rooted in resistance and community-building, these movements created space for marginalized voices within punk and beyond. Bringing together legendary artists whose work was central to these movements, this conversation will explore their origins, development, impact, and legacy as well as how their messages have been commercialized, co-opted, and transformed over time.

-, filmmaker, writer, photographer, and queercore icon
