The Make*Up at The Black Cat in Washington, DC, May 19, 2019 © Chris Suspect 2022
This coming Thursday, Oct. 6 at 6:30 pm I am excited to announce I will be in conversation with writer and musician Alec MacKaye at the Mt Pleasant Public Library at 3160 16th St., NW, Washington, D.C. The topics of discussion are my work around punk rock photography and our experiences in the DC/punk and hardcore scene. A looping slide show will feature 100 of my images of 70 different bands from the last 12 years.
Alec wrote the intro to my first book Suspect Device that was published in 2014 so we have 8 years of catching up to do!
Below are all the bands that will be featured and a large portion of these images have never been published before.
The event is free. Starts at 6:30 and goes for 1 hour, so please arrive early. Afterwards we can all go to a neighborhood bar in Mt. Pleasant for some food and drink. Details to be posted on the Facebook Event page..
This event is brought to you by the DC Public Library and the DC Punk Archive
