Kendra Sheetz Episode 38 of enough. features Grand Rapids, MI musicians Bek Graham and Bridget Nicole Rose who discuss the creation of A.M.P.T. – or A.rtists & M.usicians P.rogressing T.ogether – a collaborative group and zine. They outline the process of how it came together and the ways a zine about abuse in the music scene can be an asset to communities far beyond their own.
In their words:
“a.rtists & m.usicians p.rogressing t.ogether is an informal, collaborative group of folks who decided that the Grand Rapids, Michigan music and arts scene has had unaddressed issues with abuse for too long. We are small and humble, but we are mighty! Even though this topic is a lot to unpack, our goal is to provide some resources and hope to those who are facing a difficult situation. We want this zine to be informative for those looking for support where our music and art community is unfortunately lacking. Our work is far from perfect, but we hope it can make an impact.”
