“The memoir covers it all while serving as a firsthand account of punk and post-punk’s liveliest days. King’s presence in these moments, coupled with witty remembrances that enliven its scenes, makes it a fascinating trip through Britain’s punk society and beyond,” writes Matt Martinez in The Berkshire Eagle of Jon King’s “To Hell with Poverty!”
Join us for a special Solid Sound book talk in MASS MoCA’s R&D Store at 4pm on Friday, June 26 to hear it all straight from Jon King himself before he takes to Joe’s Field as part of Gang of Four at 7:30pm. Grab a book, get it signed, and learn from one of punk’s most enduring voices!
Solid Sound tickets not needed to attend the book talk.

On your next MASS MoCA visit, make the trip to Building 15 and visit Anselm Kiefer’s expansive exhibition, realized in collaboration with the Hall Arts Foundation and recently back on view for the season.
With its more-than-human scale, bleak but evocative landscapes, and interrogation of the telling of history, there’s a reason that it’s a visitor favorite exhibition. Come find out for yourself!
(Anselm Kiefer, and all outdoor exhibitions, will be closed to all without tickets to Solid Sound throughout the festival)

Join us on July 24 and 25 for two-day workshop with Wafa Ghnaim and contribute to Jimena Sarno’s installation “Life in the Forest” that is now on view in “Jimena Sarno: Rhapsody.”
Wafa Ghnaim will introduce the technique of tatreez — traditional embroidery from the eastern Mediterranean — as a form of visible, structural mending. Participants are invited to explore how Palestinian, Syrian, Jordanian, and Lebanese embroidery practices have historically combined decoration with repair — emphasizing reuse, improvisation, and sustainability.
Interested in participating? Apply through the link in our bio by July 8.

Members of the community recently gathered in Kidspace to add the final touches to a Declaration Quilt, a collaborative piece inspired by the themes of connection, belonging, and collective storytelling that are present throughout Lara Downes’ work, bringing together individual voices into a shared expression.
Join us in the Hunter Center on July 18 for “HOLD THESE TRUTHS: Lara Downes and Friends” and witness the completed quilt come to life as part of an evening of music, reflection, and community. The concert will feature work from Downes’ “The Declaration Project,” a nationwide initiative exploring our shared vision for the future.

Organized by Ki Smith Gallery, the exhibition features art and photographs by Roberta Bayley, R. Crumb, Shepard Fairey, Danny Fields, Bob Gruen, and Chris Stein, alongside special contributions from Brian Eno, Debbie Harry, David Byrne, Mark Mothersbaugh, Joan Jett, and many more.

Now on view in “Technologies of Relation,” Roopa Vasudevan’s “Requiem for the Early Internet” invites visitors to reconsider their relationship with technology in today’s digital landscape.
The installation features eight commemorative plaques dedicated to websites and platforms from the 1990s and 2000s, each highlighting the positive memories and cultural significance they once held. Through this lens of nostalgia, Vasudevan reflects on a time when engagement with digital technology felt more intentional, prompting visitors to consider how their interactions with technology have evolved.
