An exhibition of songbooks from Interference Archive's collection, opening with an evening event. It draws on books from the labor movement, the civil rights movement, the socialist schools of the 1930s and the feminist movement, exploring why people sing together on picket lines, strikes and rallies. Songs like “Bread and Roses,” “We Shall Overcome” and “Bella Ciao” appear alongside satire against fascism, war, oppression and poverty.
