Paola Mendoza’s Listening Chair

To round off the weekend's celebrations of this year's International Women’s Day, Elizabeth Alker welcomes activist, author and film-maker Paola Mendoza to the Unclassified Listening Chair to select a track that transports her elsewhere. Paola was born in Colombia and has spent her adult life in America campaigning on issues including abortion and immigration. She co-founded the Women’s March, serving as its artistic director, as well as the Resistance Revival Chorus, the critically-acclaimed women’s choir that believes “joy is an act of resistance.” Elsewhere in the show, Elizabeth offers up a vibrant selection of fresh music from genre-defying artists who take us on a journey through landscapes of ambient and experimental sounds.
