Most of the meanwhile numerous books, focussing on feminism in punk, talk about protagonists and icons of the 70ies punk scene or portrait the Riot Grrrl movement in the early 90ies, as the measure for punk rock feminism. But what happened after that period? Punk is ultimately not dead – some say so at least – and up to this days critical voices aren't absent talking racism, sexism, homo- and trans*phobia in the punk scene. It's time to go on with these discussions, instead of letting them rest in resentment.
As editors and contributors, we see the necessity out of heart, to create an illustrated book about a punk scene these days, from a queer_feminist perspective.
Since late 2015 we are working on this project and because we decided to involve the current queer_feminist punk scene we collected contributions in our broader millieu. Musicians, concert-goers, festival organizers, punkettes, comic drawer or sound technicians, punk and DIY is the common thread. The book is filled to the top with point of views. Some agree, some don't: different sometimes similar, each of the almost 40 contributions, has it's own truth.
