Get ready to boogie! Learn about the disco era’s explosion of music, nightlife and culture in the Bay Area. This event will preview clips from the groundbreaking new three-part PBS series Disco: Soundtrack of a Revolution, exploring disco’s rise, fall, and enduring influence. Through iconic tracks, archival footage, and conversation with Bay Area artists and community members DJ Charles Hawthorne, BeBe Sweetbriar, and Rodney Barnette, hosts Nastia Voynovskaya (Associate Editor and reporter, KQED Arts & Culture) and Corey Antonio Rose (Assistant Producer, NPR) explore disco’s impact on San Francisco’s Black, queer, and minority communities and how locals are preserving the genre.
