Irreversible Entanglements

Members of Irreversible Entanglements will improvise a set of music contextualized by this passage written by Julius Lester:

“Culture in a revolutionary context must be an instrument of communication, which serves to raise political awareness and consciousness, as well as serving to further intensify the commitment of the people to revolution. Culture can also be an instrument which serves as a rock in a weary land and a shelter in a time of storm. Culture is the principal mass means by which attitudes and ideology are shaped in any society. Therefore, in a revolutionary context, the responsibilities of the cultural worker are overwhelming. These responsibilities have different demands at different stages of the revolution, and it is part of the cultural worker's responsibility to be so attuned to the needs of the revolution that [they] will not be articulating one thing when another is needed.” -Julius Lester, Revolutionary Notes (1969)
