Alexander Pehlemann
Editor and writer on underground music under socialism
Based in Leipzig, Germany
This is a discussion appearance, not a performance set. Expect a spoken panel around informal music cultures under non-democratic regimes, with a focus on how underground scenes moved between resistance, survival, nationalism, and reaction.
