The Re-Membering Generation: 1990's LA Chicana/o/x Music

April 6 – June 8, 2024

The exhibition Re-Membering Generation: 1990's LA Chicana/o/x Music is a multidisciplinary exploration that documents SHG's vibrant music scene and history in the 1990s. Curated by Grammy award-winning musician/community historian Quetzal Flores, the exhibition pairs eight duets (a visual artist with a musician) to produce original songs and serigraph prints inspired by their conversations, reflections, and memories of the LA music scene of the late 90s. Curator Flores states, "For generations of musicians, Self Help Graphics has served as a rite of passage. A collective space of retreat, experimentation, re-membering regeneration."
