About Underground Music Promotional Graphics
This work is an example of how anti-mainstream musicians (often referred as “underground” or “DIY”) depict their music through promotional graphics, uniting sound with visual expression. Designers of these pieces gain total freedom of expression by producing pieces like these in-house—often literally with collaborative making in their homes. Designers might choose production methods for ease of access, as a statement against mainstream production and capitalism, to eliminate digital screens and make by hand, or purely for artistic expression.
About the Minnesota Underground Music Archives (MUMA)
Housed in the Andersen Library Performing Arts Archive at the University of Minnesota, MUMA was formed in 2013 by local collectors Tim Carroll and Liseli Povlika. This community-driven archive is a unique assemblage of publications, publicity, photographs, recordings, and ephemera documenting Minnesota's independent, punk, and underground music culture from 1950 to the present. Its archivists are dedicated to the collecting and preserving of materials associated with the Minnesota music scene of the past, present, and future.
