NGV Program Highlights!
Thu 10 Jul, 6pm
Goth’s dark aesthetic is informed by Berlin cabarets of the 1920s and early 20th century Expressionist film. Musically, the genre distils aspects of punk and glam rock into a monochromatic dirge. This lecture traces Goth subculture through its musical and costumed machinations and exposes just how varied a uniform of black can be. Followed by a free film screening of Orpheus, directed by Jean Cocteau (1949, 95 mins).
Speaker Anna Hirsh, independent writer and curator-
