This event will take place at 2:00 PM at AB Salon, Steenstraat 11, 1000 Brussels.

Photographer Jim Saah was there in Washington D.C. when, in the 1980s and 1990s, a young generation was shaping its own music and culture. With his camera, he followed the local hardcore punk scene up close, from Minor Threat, Faith and Void to the many people and places that helped shape the scene.

In My Eyes: Photographs 1982–1997 offers a glimpse into the hardcore and music scene of that era, but also touches on something that remains relevant today: the importance of places and communities where there is room for music, creativity and independence.

As Saah himself says: “The punk music I discovered changed the way I look at the world. Ultimately, punk music gave me the ability to think for myself and let music and art open my mind.”

During this author talk, Jim Saah will take you through a selection of his favourite photographs and the stories behind them. The afternoon will conclude with a Q&A.
