On the 101st edition of Free City Radio we highlight an interview with NYC street artist Seth Tobocman speaking about working with social activist movements in the lower east side of NYC, particularly around struggles against gentrification in the city and the displacement of low income residents in the working class Manhattan area. Seth also speaks about the development of specific book projects, including War In the Neighbourhood out via AK Press a seminal work in the Anarchist comic art world.
I recorded this interview in person in 2014 during a series of community discussions between activists in NYC and Montreal that I was involved in at the time. I thought to share this from the archives for this edition of Free City Radio.
Music on this edition is by Cat Power one of Seth's friends from the Lower East Side arts scene. Accompanying art work by Seth.
