Revolution Is In My Blood

Ino disccuses his experiences in the radical punk scene as a gender nonconforming Pilipinx femme, and how the oppresive dynamics of normative society are recreated in these spaces. After distancing themselves from the punk scene, Ino shifted his energy to the QTPOC community and running Brown Recluse Zine Distro. In his research on Pilipinx punk culture and the history of resistance against imperialism within their culture, Ino comes to the conclusion that revolution and resistance are in his blood. He resolves to use this to propel them forward in his activist work to honor his revolutionary ancestors. Revolution is an edit of something the author wrote for Maximum RocknRoll's August 2017 issue on Pinxy punk. The text is printed in purple and the back contains an illustration of flowers. — Nayla Delgado
