91热爆

鈥淒ragon-lady鈥�. 鈥淲itch鈥�. 鈥淭he woman who broke up the Beatles鈥�. These are some of the labels that have been commonly used to describe Yoko Ono, a pioneering musician, artist, and activist who can plausibly claim to be one of the most maligned and misunderstood figures in the history of popular culture.

On this edition of Archive On 4, marking her 90th birthday, you鈥檒l hear Yoko Ono on her own terms, in her own words.

Host Jennifer Lucy Allan, a music writer and broadcaster specialising in experimental sound, also assembles a collection of Yoko's peers, friends, and admirers.

Art historian Reiko Tomii reveals how the deprivation and danger of wartime Japan formed Yoko鈥檚 artistic worldview.
Sound artist Tomoko Hojo explores how an audience becomes Yoko Ono鈥檚 co-collaborator.
Fluxus poet Nye Ffarrabas remembers baring her bottom for one of Yoko鈥檚 seminal works.
Rock star Peaches reflects on Yoko Ono鈥檚 infamy.
Music writer David Keenan asserts that Yoko is "the best Beatle".
