Photographing New York's wild alternative punk shows and raves:
Growing up in 1990s New York, Mexican-American photographer and filmmaker spent her formative years in Manhattan's Greenwich Village and the Lower East Side. It was her aunt, a fashion photographer, who instilled in her a lifelong love of photography and punk. Destiny remembers walking home from school as a middle schooler, taking in the sights along St. Mark's Place and playing in Tompkins Square Park, long before the East Village was gentrified.
. The grind of work-life had her in a rut — going to work and then going home, only to do it all over again the next day. She stopped going to shows until the day a friend invited her to a "It was magical," Destiny says."There were Latino, Black and Asian punks from so many different walks of life. It was a dream show.
As a teenager in New York's then-predominantly white punk scene, Destiny rarely saw other Latinos at shows and always felt unsafe dancing in the mosh pits. But once she found Punx of Color, she enjoyed a newfound sense of belonging."It brought me into this scene I knew nothing about," Destiny says."That became my therapy after work.
