Mitamine Lab #65 - Homenage 1: Malcolm McLaren
Mitamine Lab is a culture laboratory based in Mexico City which blends sound archives with contemporary music and literature.
This episode aims to revive some forgotten motives, people, and moments that have shaped us. One such figure is Malcolm McLaren.
Born in London in 1946, Malcolm McLaren was a musician, entrepreneur, and manager who became famous as the mastermind behind the punk revolution with the Sex Pistols. Raised by his grandmother after his father left, Malcolm was inspired by the International Situationist movement, which promoted provocative acts for social change.
He studied art but left to pursue fashion design with Vivienne Westwood. In 1975, he played a key role in forming the Sex Pistols, a band that challenged societal norms with hits like "Anarchy in the U.K." and "God Save the Queen." McLaren also managed other acts and launched a solo music career in the 1980s.
He passed away in 2010 from a stroke caused by a tumor, but his influence remains profound. McLaren challenged conventions and inspired countless creatives to express their unique perspectives—through music, art, and beyond.
This series aims to revisit icons like Malcolm McLaren—figures who help us resist the ordinary and find meaning in this complex, yet beautiful world.
