Call for writing on music and politics

Over here at Interference Archive we are in the heavy organizing stages of our upcoming exhibition about the intersection of music and politics: if a song could be freedom. . . Organized Sounds of Resistance.

We are looking for people to respond to the prompt: What song or album has been politically influential to you, and how?
Please send us your thoughts (250 – 1000 words is perfect) in an email to music@interferencearchive.org by May 15, 2015. We hope to incorporate a number of your responses into our exhibition design, along with the music that inspired your writing.
