In an era of massive change, what can we learn from the subcultures of the past? Host Michelle Marques talks with KQED Arts & Culture Senior Editor Gabe Meline to discuss his role in curating Disturbing the Peace: Sonoma County’s Early Punk Underground at the Museum of Sonoma County. Meline, a veteran of the local scene, explains how he transformed a personal collection that includes demo tapes and ‘zines into a museum-grade exploration of local history. We dive into the core themes of the exhibit, examining how the punk mentality translates to the challenges of today. Plus, we turn up the volume with tracks from the bands that fueled the North Bay’s early punk movement.
