Abstract

In this interview with art historian Maria Elena Buszek, American photographer Kate Simon (b. 1953) discusses her work as a photojournalist documenting the nascent punk and reggae scenes of the 1970s. Simon shares the ‘punky-reggae’, art and literary connections in her long and storied career, and her perspectives on the gender politics that met the growing numbers of women photojournalists and writers who came out of the 1970s music scene.
