This Thursday, the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) will host a panel discussion on the impact of punk graphic arts on American design. Moderated by design historian Steven Heller, the talk coincides with MAD’s current exhibition Too Fast to Live, Too Young to Die: Punk Graphics, 1976–1986.

Each panelist, with their individual expertise on the world of punk graphic arts, will bring their own take to what is sure to be a robust and enriching conversation.
