Friday, October 2 at 10pm on MPT - Asco: Without Permission
ASCO: Without Permission challenges the limits of documentary conventions to tell the story of a revolutionary Chicano art group who turned 1970s LA into their defiant canvas. Merging activism with radical art-making, ASCO challenged the established order of Hollywood, museums, and media and are now considered amongst the 20th century's most significant artists. Director Travis Gutierrez Senger mirrors their boundary-breaking spirit through a groundbreaking approach, weaving nonfiction and fiction together with a new generation of artists. The result is more than a profile it's a reimagining of what's possible in art and cinema, celebrating iconoclasts who were decades ahead of their time.
Meet the groundbreaking Chicano collective that made the streets a canvas for art and resistance.
