Exhibit: Alternative Voices - 1980s Punk San Francisco

  • Amado's (previously The Offensive) (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Exhibit up until the end of June!

Remember zines? Cheap rent in the Mission? Reagan? Alternative Voices reveals the charged cultural and political scene of the 80s underground that made San Francisco a fertile center for art, activism and punk rock. The exhibit features photographs Jeanne Hansen took while actively participating in the underground alongside interviews with well-known scene-makers conducted over five years and edited by renowned author Jonah Raskin. With a sense of beauty and power, these photos will take viewers on a walk on the wild side of a San Francisco on the cusp of the emerging HIV/AIDS crisis, reviving a unique time and place in the City’s history.

Infused with the DIY punk energy, Hansen’s images capture an array of site-specific events. Rowdy crowds dived into underground clubs such as Tool and Die and The Offensive (now Amado’s) to hear punk bands and to see the art that was displayed on the walls. All this and more set the stage for the raw punk ethos of the 80s.

Opening Reception

Resistors: 50 Years of Social Movement Photography

Revolutionaries, protestors, and now resistors. The Bay Area has been home to a long and proud tradition of citizen activism, which has often been in the vanguard and the cause of increased human and ecological rights across the nation. Now in this time of heightened citizen involvement across the country, this exhibition links generations of resistors and provides inspiration for the ongoing struggle to achieve peace, equality and justice.
