Please join us for the Opening Reception of Punk is Coming on Saturday, March 26 from 6 - 8 PM at MoCA Westport.

Punk is Coming is a diverse group exhibition featuring over 50 photographers, filmmakers and artists whose work defined the punk era in the 1970’s in New York City, London, Los Angeles and other cities around the world. 

The exhibition includes rare, never-before-seen videos and photographs, as well as artworks created by the punk era’s musicians and contemporary works heavily influenced by the movement.

Many of the iconic images and photographs and films in the exhibition were created by women from behind the scenes, including works from Roberta Bayley, Pat Ivers and Emily Armstrong, Sheila Rock, Merrill Aldighieri, and Ebet Roberts.

The exhibition is co-curated by Marian Schwindeman, Roberta Bayley, Liz Leggett (MoCA Westport Director of Exhibitions) and Ruth Mannes (Executive Director of MoCA Westport).
