Punk is Coming

Punk is Coming was a group exhibition featuring more than 50 photographers, filmmakers and artists whose work documented and helped define the punk movement of the 1970s.

Bringing together photography, film, archival material and artist-created works, the exhibition explored the cultural impact of punk across New York, London, Los Angeles and other cities where the movement emerged and evolved. Rare photographs, previously unseen footage and original artworks provided a broad view of the people, places and ideas that shaped one of the most influential cultural movements of the twentieth century.

The exhibition was presented at MoCA Westport from March 26 through June 5, 2022.

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