Ana da Silva鈥檚 mixtape

Jennifer Lucy Allan digs into the sounds of Women in Revolt, an exhibition of feminist art from 1970-1990, and shares a mixtape from post-punk pioneer, The Raincoats鈥� Ana da Silva.

Women in Revolt! Inspired by a recent visit to the Tate鈥檚 exhibition, Jennifer Lucy Allan digs into the sounds of feminist art, liberation and rage, with a special mixtape from post-punk pioneer Ana da Silva.

Ana is a founding member and songwriter of The Raincoats, which she formed in 1977 along with fellow art student Gina Birch after the pair attended a Slits show. The first all-female punk band to declare themselves feminists, their iconic 1979 self-titled album was written against the background of London squats and women鈥檚 liberation, and paved the way for riot grrrl and the future of the DIY music scene. Ana鈥檚 mixtape for Late Junction represents the depth and breadth of her musical world, with a heavy dose of guitar-sounds spanning from Spanish flamenco to Bikini Kill, Laurie Spiegel's electronic compositions and the vocals of legendary Tagore singer Rezwana Choudhury Bannya.

Elsewhere in the show, Jennifer shares selections inspired by the exhibition - heavy guitars, spoken word, and a fair few screams for good measure.
