Associate Professor Colin Gunckel recently served as a member of the curatorial committee for the forthcoming exhibition, Tastemakers & Earthshakers: Notes from Los Angeles Youth Culture, 1943–2016 (running dates October 15, 2016- February 25, 2017, Vincent Price Art Museum, East Los Angeles College). Tastemakers and Earthshakers is a multimedia exhibition that "traverses eight decades of style, art, and music, and presents vignettes that consider youth culture as a social class, distinct issues associated with young people, principles of social organization, and the emergence of subcultural groups. Citing the 1943 Zoot Suit Riots as a seminal moment in the history of Los Angeles youth culture, the exhibition emphasizes a recirculation of shared experiences across time, reflecting recurrent and ongoing struggles and triumphs" (vincentpriceartmuseum.org).
