USA: Tunç joins Lucey at Duke Duke University in its human rights series present censored musicians and highlight freedom of musical expression.
Music censorship and music activism has been in focus for the past week at Duke University, USA. Two Freemuse ambassadors, Ferhat Tunç and Roger Lucey joined forces at a seminar on music activism and each presented their own concerts. Ferhat Tunç in a lecture, "Laments for Rebels and Soldiers" on 20 March talked about his arrests in Turkey and discussed state terror and reconciliation.
Tunç is currently offered a ‘Visiting Artist's Residency’ at Duke and Roger Lucey is writing a book about his experiences of music censorship during the apartheid years in South Africa. Lucey, who is also one of the main characters in the Freemuse produced film `Stopping the Music,´ presented the film at Duke. It tells the story about how a security police systematically destroyed his music career.
Lucey and the (former) security police, Paul Erasmus has later reconciled and lectured together at several Freemuse events. Ferhat Tunç recently performed at Music Freedom Day in Stockholm. He met Lucey for the first time at the 3rd Freemuse World Conference in Istanbul in 2006. Lucey’s concert at Duke was even a fundraiser for Freemuse. Read more:
