In 2006, Osa Atoe was the only Black kid at the punk show in Portland, Oregon and created Shotgun Seamstress to capture that experience for others. Quickly, the zine was a filter to interpret punk through the lens of a Black, queer woman. Each issue featured photocopied essays, interviews, historical portraits of important artists and scenes, reviews, and perspectives, each paying tribute to musicians and artists that typify free Black expression and interrupt notions of Black culture as a monolith. It's got a little bit of everything, like a blastbeat mixtape where radical politics are never sidelined for an easier view; to show what Black punks express, represent, and document. It's “all of our possibilities instead of allowing the dominant culture to tell us what it means to be Black.” (Medium Discount)
