SCAM 1991–2020

Conceived by Erica Dawn Lyle, SCAM, which initially served as an "equal parts introductory guide on how to get things for free and punk memoir”, explores various events and locations related to punk and activism, including the contrast between the 2010 Miami’s Art Basel and Miami’s many tent cities, the street art and activism in post-economic-collapse Buenos Aires, and a recounting of California's early hardcore punk movement amidst the Occupy Los Angeles protests. Lyle celebrated the 25th anniversary of SCAM by publishing issue 10, which features articles about Laurie Anderson, SHELLSHAG, art shows in empty lots in New York City, and Kenya Robinson. Lyle is active as writer, curator, experimental musician, and former guitarist for the legendary band Bikini Kill, which was key in pioneering the riot grrrl movement.
