See how grassroots initiatives inspire creativity and collaboration in local design scenes!
Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with co-authors Aaron Cometbus and Scott Satterwhite, centered around their book, A Punkhouse in the Deep South: The Oral History of 309. 309 Punk Project, an artist-run nonprofit in the South's oldest punkhouse, is celebrating its tenth anniversary with a tour through Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
Co-sponsored by Atlanta-based Chunklet Music Preservation Project, Inc., this event will explore how punk culture fosters creativity and community.
What to Expect:
Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with a mobile exhibit showcasing 309’s history and purchase signed books, fanzines, and more!
MODA’s own Felicia E. Gail, a Northwest Florida native who was once an artist in residence at 309, will also share her insights on the intersections of artistic practice, design and community-building.
Connect with fellow designers, historians, and punk enthusiasts and contribute to an inspiring dialogue about creating inclusive spaces.
Enjoy MODA’s latest exhibition, Public Notice: The 2025 U.S. International Poster Biennial.
