Title: Desi Punx
Description: Tanvi Anand centers Desi voices in two interviews about punk scenes. The first interview subject is Dr. Madhu Krishnan, a professor of African, World, and Comparative Literature at the University of Bristol who was involved in the riot grrrl movement. Krishnan discusses growing up in the suburbs, experiences with race relations within the riot grrrl movement, as well as how the early internet was a place for outsiders to connect. The interview is concluded with a mini playlist of the band Team Dresch. The second interview subject is Jyoti Sekhawat of Passionless Pointless, a Berlin-based sludge rock band. Jyoti and Anand discuss third culture identities and musical influences. The zine includes a short introduction, a table of contents, photos, collages, and a Desi Punx playlist on the back cover. -- Nayla Delgado
