SUMMARY:Violet Hex Presents POLY STYRENE: I AM A CLICHÉ!
DESCRIPTION:Please join on Friday\, April 12th for a queer celebration of the legacy and brilliance of iconic british punk pioneer POLY STYRENE! Featuring A DRAG TRIBUTE TO X-RAY SPEX with pre-film performances by Blossom Drearie\, Destiny Smokez\, Navouny Divinne\, & hosted by resident cult cinema queen Violet Hex.  \n\n\n\nDoors at 7PM\, Show+Film at 8PM. \n\n\n\n\nPoly Styrene was the first woman of color in the UK to front a successful rock band. She introduced the world to a new sound of rebellion\, using her unconventional voice to sing about identity\, consumerism\, postmodernism\, and everything she saw unfolding in late 1970s Britain\, with a rare prescience. As the frontwoman of X-Ray Spex\, the Anglo-Somali punk musician was also a key inspiration for the riot grrrl and Afropunk movements. But the late punk maverick didn’t just leave behind an immense cultural footprint. Poly was survived by a daughter\, Celeste Belle. Celeste became the unwitting guardian of her mother’s legacy and her mother’s demons.  \n\n\n\nMisogyny\, racism\, and mental illness plagued Poly’s life\, while their lasting trauma scarred Celeste’s childhood and the pair’s relationship. Featuring unseen archive material and rare diary entries narrated by Oscar-nominee Ruth Negga\, this documentary follows Celeste as she examines her mother’s unopened artistic archive and traverses three continents to better understand Poly the icon and Poly the mother. Featuring interviews from Thurston Moore\, Kathleen Hanna\, Vivienne Westwood\, Neneh Cherry\, & more.
