New York Rave Flyers, 1990-1995 (Vol. 2)

A collection of reproduced rave flyers produced for events in New York between 1990 and 1995.

Flyers were critical to the spread of rave culture pre-internet. The dissemination of the printed pieces gave ravers information on where and when promoters would be organizing parties. To stand out, events needed to have distinctive artwork, illustrations, and/or typography.

The flyers are also important documents of subculture organizing, documenting locales, dates, artists, and organizations that were part of the rave community in New York City.
