A film that reimagines art and activism, blending documentary with fiction at Cactus+.
"ASCO: Without Permission" is more than just a film; it's a tribute to the groundbreaking Chicano art group that transformed 1970s Los Angeles. Directed by Travis Gutiérrez Senger, the film creatively merges documentary with fiction, reflecting the boundary-pushing spirit of ASCO. This screening at Cactus+ is a chance to engage with a piece that challenges conventional storytelling and celebrates artistic rebellion.
