🎥 Eye-opening, vibrant, and deeply heartfelt — I sat down with director Travis Gutiérrez Senger to discuss his powerful documentary ASCO: Without Permission.
We dive into the incredible story of the legendary Chicano art collective ASCO (Harry Gamboa Jr., Gronk, Willie Herrón, and Patssi Valdez) who created bold, provocative art without waiting for permission from the mainstream art world.
Travis shares what it was like collaborating with executive producers Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna, blending archival footage with stunning re-enactments, the political climate of the 1970s, and how ASCO’s fight against police brutality, racism, and war still resonates with young Latinx communities today.
A 5-year journey of uncovering underground archives, this film is both politically charged and emotionally vibrant.
We also talk about the advice this story offers to today’s independent artists and filmmakers, plus Travis’s hopes for audiences at the upcoming screening at the Palm Springs Art Museum on June 27th.
If you love Chicano art, powerful documentaries, or stories of creative rebellion — this one’s for you.
