Curated by photographer Pete Duvall, The Sound of DC: A Visual History is a four-part exhibition series that explores the rich history of the music scene in the DMV area. Drawing from the University of Maryland’s expansive digital archives, the series begins with a focus on the emergence of the punk rock subculture in the 1970s Washington, D.C. area, evolving from a historically rich jazz scene. Visitors will experience how a group of DC teenagers turned their passion into action, creating their own music, art, and culture that ignited a global DIY revolution.
