Accompanying the opening of this exhibition in the Hayward Gallery Project Space, this panel discussion explores the provocative graphic art that developed alongside punk rock.

Panelists include William Gibson, award-winning writer and seminal cyberpunk novelist; Tony Drayton, editor of Ripped & Torn, one of the first UK punk fanzines, and Kill Your Pet Puppy – arguably the most aesthetically interesting anarcho-punk fanzines of the '80s; John Holmstrom, writer, cartoonist and legendary editor of the iconic Punk magazine; and artist Gee Vaucher, whose record covers and newsletters for anarcho-punk band Crass in the late 1970s and early '80s influenced graphics for political protest as well as for music. Chaired by exhibition co-curator Johan Kugelberg.

Punk Book
The events and exhibition coincide with the launch of PUNK AN AESTHETIC - new book on punk art and design, published by Rizzoli.
