Tom Morello to Highlight Music's Role in Social Change at CMHR Exhibition

Renowned guitarist Tom Morello, familiar to fans for his work with Rage Against the Machine and Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, is set to contribute to a unique exhibition in Winnipeg. Morello is known not just for his powerful riffs but also as a prominent advocate for social justice, often using his music as a tool for change.

Exhibition Opening at Canadian Museum for Human Rights

Visitors are in for a treat as Morello will be present to inaugurate the 'Beyond the Beat: Music of Resistance and Change' exhibition at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) on February 2. This new, interactive exhibition aims to immerse its guests in pivotal moments where music was not just for entertainment, but a vital force in societal transformation and political activism.

An Evening of Music and Stories

The opening event, though already sold out, promises an engaging evening co-hosted by the Winnipeg Folk Festival. Morello plans to captivate the audience with both his music and tales that underpin the activist spirit of his career. The museum's leadership acknowledges Morello's significant role in promoting an understanding of human rights through his artistry and activism.

Tom Morello's Activism

More than a master of strings, Morello has always been vocal about issues spanning from worker's rights to the quest for transparency at Guantanamo Bay. His activist work includes co-founding Axis of Justice, which connects the music world with grassroots political movements to fight for a fairer world.
