Share your stories about music and politics
Interference Archive is planning an exhibition for the summer of 2015 (tentatively titled if a song could be freedom...: Organized Sounds of Resistance) which will focus on the role of music in politics and social movements.
Over the next few months we're requesting many different contributions and we'll begin today with the question: *What song or album has been politically influential to you, and how?*
Please send us your answer (250 - 1000 words is perfect) in an email to music@interferencearchive.org by May 1, 2015. We hope to incorporate a number of your responses into our exhibition design, along with the music that inspired your writing.
