About the Event
In 1975, Spain emerged from the long shadow of Franco's dictatorship, stumbling toward democracy amid uncertainty, unrest, and unhealed wounds. In the same moment, a raw, raucous, and radically irreverent cultural force exploded onto the scene: punk.
Spanish Punk: Screaming for Democracy in a Postdictatorial State is the first in-depth study to trace the uniquely political trajectory of punk in post-Franco Spain.
David Vila Diéguez is a filmmaker, scholar and musician, singing in the Latinx alternative band the Rumba Madre. Join him for in-person afternoon of discussion, song, and a book signing.
For disability-related accommodations, please call (213) 228-7430 at least five business days prior to the event. The City will make every effort to accommodate requests received with less notice.
