Protest takes many forms. Those who are musically inclined express resistance through song. From shows in unlikely venues to bands who perform almost exclusively at fundraisers, in Bloomington the spirit of musical activism is strong. We hear from members on 4th Wall, a trans queer band playing concerts to promote causes they believe in, along with Mia Fisher who has performed on WFHB’s Local Live. Charles and Jack McGregor talk about the Tiny Dorm Concerts they host at Indiana University in solidarity with the defunding of public media.

Produced by Eli Alvis in partnership with The Media School at Indiana University
