Asco: Chicano Cinema and Agnes Varda’s Mur Murs

LACMA curator Rita Gonzalez will be joined by filmmaker and Asco catalogue contributor Jesse Lerner to present film-related work by Asco, including slides of their No-Movies (1972–78), Super-8 films documenting performances (1972–74), single-channel videos, and fotonovelas. The evening will also include a screening of Agnes Varda’s Mur Murs (1981) which features a performance by Asco.
