VENTURA LIVE: Desolation Center

Experience a one-night-only celebration of underground music and art, starting with a rare live set from punk legends Mike Watt (Minutemen/Firehose) and Stephen Perkins (Jane’s Addiction). Then, catch Desolation Center, Stuart Swezey’s riveting documentary on the early ’80s DIY desert shows that paved the way for festivals like Burning Man and Coachella. After the screening, join a Q&A with Swezey, producer Mariska Leyssius, and legendary punk artist Johanna Went, moderated by author and activist Jay Ponti. A night of art, resistance, and the radical spirit that ignited a cultural movement.
