Flyer for Cell 63’s “Cell 64: Multi-Topic Group Discussion” on January 9, 1993. This flyer promotes a special event at Cell 63, which pivoted from its usual music-based programming due to increased pressure from local authorities. This Multi-Topic Group Discussion aimed at providing a platform for local youth to engage in open dialogue about various issues affecting their lives and the world around them. The flyer emphasizes the event’s focus on free speech and community engagement, inviting attendees to discuss whatever was on their minds, from social issues to personal experiences. In addition to the discussion, the event featured a self-defense class, reflecting the venue’s commitment to empowering individuals and fostering a sense of safety and confidence. At a time when DIY venues like Cell 64 were facing increasing scrutiny, this event marked a shift from the usual music performances, offering a space for reflection, personal growth, and collective dialogue.
