The Punk Talk Series - History of Toronto Punk

Join us for an engaging discussion with local artists who have helped to shape and document the first wave punk scene. Learn what it takes to archive and capture local history, and what it was like to be part of ground-breaking local venues and be front row at some of the city’s most historical punk gigs.

Meet photographer and musician Don Pyle (Trouble in the Camera Club; Crash Kills Five; Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet); photographer, writer, and Diodes manager Ralph Alfonso (who also launched Toronto’s first punk venue the Crash n’ Burn), and filmmaker Kire Paputts (The Last Pogo Jumps Again).

Moderated by author Liz Worth (Treat Me Like Dirt: An Oral History of Punk in Toronto and Beyond).

Hosted at Kingi Carpenter's famous Peach Berserk silk screen studio! Your entry fee includes refreshments.

Hang out after the talk to silk screen your own Toronto punk-inspired souvenir, which Kingi will teach you how to do.
