Description: South African musician Roger Lucey’s recordings and performances were routinely censored under apartheid. State security police aimed to destroy his music career, though he remained a celebrated voice of the liberation struggle in the singer-songwriter and rock music traditions. A prominent human rights activist, Ferhat Tunç is one of the iconic figures of “protest music” which emerged as an artistic response to the military coup of 1980 in Turkey. His work is dedicated to progressive internationalism.This project is made possible by a Visiting Artist Grant from the Council for the Arts
