There truly isn’t anything more punk than the library. The DC Punk Archive, the DC Public Library’s effort to document the District’s rich punk scene dating back to 1976, is marking a decade of existence. In celebration, the archive is hosting a series of events throughout its birthday month to gently remind the community that punk’s not dead. The archive has been hosting regular rooftop concerts at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Library since its inception in 2014, along with other events. This year, it’s going all out with five events, aligning perfectly with DC Zinefest (a festival celebrating independent publishing and DIY culture in the District), which is being hosted at Martin Luther King, Jr. Library on October 26 from 11 AM to 4 PM. The archive’s events include: In Comic Form Exhibit at Lost Origins Gallery October 5–November 10 3110 Mount Pleasant St., NW See DC-native illustrator Evan Keeling’s depiction of the history of punk culture in DC through his comics. Admission is free to the exhibit, which is open every Friday night through the weekend.
