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. The exhibition will remain on view at The Boathouse Gallery at Plaza de la Raza from April 6-June 8, 2024. The gallery is open weekly Monday-Thursday from 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. and Saturdays, from 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. 

Curated by Quetzal Flores, a Grammy award-winning musician/community historian, 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. "For generations of musicians, Self Help Graphics has served as a rite of passage. A collective space of retreat, experimentation, re-membering regeneration," said Curator, Quetzal. 

The exhibition will feature ephemera serving as a window to this period alongside serigraph prints and music created by Rachel Negrete Thorson and Alice Bag, Marisol Torres and Gustavo Avina, Yolanda Gonzalez and Lysa Flores, Margaret “Quica” Alarcon and Quetzal Flores, Usen Gandara and Randy Rodarte, Wenceslao Quiroz and Raul Pacheco, Omar G. Ramirez and Tylana Renga, Jose Ramirez and Yaotl.

This exhibition is made possible through generous support from the Pasadena Art Alliance.

The Black Angels - Black Grease

In 1994, underground music was dirty, stained with self-loathing and doubt. Losers ruled and the dirge of the Northwest had crept into the mainstream. It was an era that inspired two young girls to pursue an unforgiving future in punk rock. But with a taste for underground comix, junk food and all things low brow, Slutever owe as much to Beavis and Butthead as they do to Kurt and Courtney. These self described brat punks make their Jade Tree debut with this two-song dark and fuzz-filled 7”.
