Paola Mendoza鈥檚 Listening Chair

Paola Mendoza - film director, activist, author and co-founder of The Resistance Revival Chorus - chooses a track that transports her.

To round off the weekend's celebrations of this year's International Women鈥檚 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鈥檚 March, serving as its artistic director, as well as the Resistance Revival Chorus, the critically-acclaimed women鈥檚 choir that believes 鈥渏oy is an act of resistance.鈥 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.
