The Grit and Glamour of Queer LA Subculture

Queer LA Punk Archive

The archive of LA punk chapter will take up the "technologies" of teen fan culture, including post-WW2 practices of bedroom wall postering, 1980s homemade cassette "mixed tapes," and 1990s “zining” and blend these analog forms with more recent networking through social media and internet searches of favorite bands. Our hybrid analog and digital galleries will speak to the creative curations of the sullen teenager’s alternative forms of social communication. 

Featured below is Casey Diaz's mock up of a digitized fan poster that, like the #Ovahness chapter's interactive ball program, will use Scalar's image annotation tool to link out to "zine" pages giving individual histories and contexts for some of LA's queer punk icons.
