In times of growing exclusion and simple truths, political art is becoming more and more important – and not only in the USA. On her latest album, bass player and singer Meshell Ndegeocello engages in an ever-changing dialogue with the life and work of African-American writer and queer civil-rights activist James Baldwin. His struggle for freedom is her struggle too.
