Ep72: Public Rope Thrills: An interview with the NYC Street Shibari team (part 1)

An interview with SamJay and Zero-Gi of the NYC Street Shibari team
Fox and Mya interview two of the team behind the incredible NYC
Street Shibari project, which consists of rope model Zero-Gi,
photographer The Dirty Archangel, and rigger Sam Jay. Their project
brings shibari to the streets with iconic backdrops from New York
city contrasted with Zero-Gi doing incredible feats of rope, such
as hanging from a vertical chest harness off a bridge in central
park. Fox and Mya talk to SamJay and Zero-Gi about the project, its
inspiration, and how they work together with The Dirty Archangel to
make their art. In the episode, hear them discuss their fascinating
collaboration, including: * How they both got into rope, and how
the NYC Street Shibari project started * The extent they go to to
research the risks of their ties * The unique blend of experiences
and talents the team possess between them * The unusual culture,
laws and history of New York that enable them to create their art *
The reactions from bystanders and law enforcement and how they
handle them * What colours of underwear say to those looking at it
and the colour that doesn’t sell! * How they distinguish between
art and kink in what they do and how they share shibari with others
