In 2006 Osa Atoe, a Black feminist punk living in Portland, did what felt natural in the punk scene: she started a zine. “Shotgun Seamstress” was a fanzine by, for and about Black punks that published six issues. Now, a new book reprints all the zines in one place. Osa Atoe joins us to talk about "Shotgun Seamstress," zines and the joys of punk music.

In episode 61 I talk to Takiaya Reed (Divide And Dissolve) about Osa Atoe, an artist, teacher, and ceramicist operating Pottery by Osa, producing small-batch handmade ceramics. Currently residing in Sarasota, Florida, Osa previously lived in Portland, OR and New Orleans, where she primarily made Shotgun Seamstress.

Today on the show is Osa Atoe, the brilliant mind behind Shotgun Seamstress! This was a pretty big interview for me and I was really excited to have her on, so of course I fucked it up. She did great though, and I hopefully did ok. It's fine, don't worry.We talk about her zines, the fascinating people she discusses and talks to in said zines, her music, and we both sort of try to define what 'punk' is and whether it can exist in an academic setting.Stick around until the end to hear about Arvo Zylo's new project and how you can get involved!Come back on Friday to hear Kittens & Unicorn's interview with Medieval Knievel (who I refer to as Medieval Knight in this episode because I'm dumb) and next Tuesday for my talk with Bisco kid, Deadhead, and my friend of 20 years, Hassan!And don't forget to subscribe!http://undressingunderground.com

I'm gonna say up front, I haven't listened to this in over 5 years but I remember being incredibly nervous because Osa Atoe and her zine are a big deal. She is incredibly intelligent, creative, and well versed in punk and black culture. She also called me like 3 minutes earlier than I expected and I never recovered from the disruption.

This month I sat down with Osa Atoe of Shotgun Seamstress fanzine! She is so cool and smart and it was really cool to hang out with her. We talk about Shotgun Seamstress, Osa's zine "by, for, and about black punks," and the complicated, sometimes conflicted relationship between Osa's black identity and her punk identity. It's not all somber or serious! We laugh a bunch and it's a really complex and enlightening conversation.
