Mika Seeger


Mika Seeger is an American ceramic artist. Although not primarily a musical artist, she did record a definitive version of "Great Green Gobs of Greasy, Grimy Gopher Guts". She is the daughter of filmmaker Toshi Seeger and American folk musician Pete Seeger.
Seeger achieved some prominence in 1968 when she was arrested for involvement in anti-police demonstrations in Mexico City in July 1968. She rejected legal assistance from the U.S. Embassy, electing to retain local counsel. Mexico expelled Seeger from Mexico at the end of the year.

Ceramic murals

Mika's ceramic murals were often created with other artists, including local school children.
