She&#39;s done! Looks way better in print, but I&#39;ve got the digital flipbook version linked in my blog. If you read it, I&#39;d love it if you left a comment afterward. &quot;Paradise Lost: Sarasota, Florida Hardcore &amp; Punk Scene 1980s-1990s&quot; is an interview zine about memory and subculture in the face of urban renewal. 68 pages, color cover, b&amp;w interior. https://shotgunseamstress.blogspot.com/ #zines #printedmatter #printmatters #independentpublishing #fuckice #florida #punk #hardcore #ParadiseLost

For #ParadiseLost, I spoke with five individuals who grew up in SW #Florida and were around to witness the formation of Sarasota’s hardcore #punk scene in the mid-1980s. Within these interviews is some nostalgia tempered with the harsh reality of racism, violence, dysfunctional family dynamics and so on. Memory is always incomplete, and the interviewees push up against that limitation continuously as they try to recall the events of 40 years ago. This #NanGoldin quote seemed relevant. #zines
