We’ve Been Here Before: What the Punk Scene Can Teach Us About White Supremacy

Featuring Emmy-winning filmmaker Jacob Kornbluth & civil rights strategist Eric K. Ward in conversation about subcultures, movement building and pluralistic democracy. Followed by reception featuring local vinyl DJ’s playing the soundtrack of our lives.

We’ve Been Here Before: What the Punk Scene Can Teach Us About White Supremacy, produced with Reboot Studios, is a deep dive into the punk subculture that fought back against White Nationalists and neo-Nazis, and the lessons they have to share with those fighting for an inclusive democracy today.

This short documentary connects the dots between mass shootings, antisemitism, and the rise of hate violence in America by following Eric Ward, an expert on the relationship between authoritarian movements and hate violence who first encountered these forces as an anti-racist skinhead in the punk rock subculture.

Join us for a conversation with Ward, filmmaker Jacob Kornbluth, anti-hate skinhead Dion Garcia, and hip-hop artist and founder of the Minneapolis Baldies Mic Crenshaw, for a personal and strategic discussion about the role of subcultures in the larger struggle against hate. Discussion followed by a reception featuring local vinyl DJ’s including Mini Kurhan.
