Anastasia Pantsios Photographs 1979-1983, undated.

The Anastasia Pantsios Photographs collection spans the years 1979 to 1993. The collection consists of twenty black and white photographs taken by Pantsios, organized alphabetically by performer. The collection provides visual evidence of performers who have appeared in Cleveland, Ohio over the course of nearly two decades, on and off stage. Seen in a broader context, the collection provides documentation of performers who have appeared in Cleveland over the years, as well as their public persona and dress. The collection also provides insight into the performers who allowed themselves and their performances to be photographed by female rock photographers, as women were finally gaining a foothold in the ranks, led by <title render="italics">Rolling Stone's</title> Annie Leibovitz. As women became more numerous and prominent on rock and roll stages in the 1980s and beyond, Pantsios developed a special interest in the visual study of the changing and diverse ways rock musicians presented themselves while making music.
