Mika Seeger is an American ceramic artist. [1] Although not primarily a musical artist, she did record a definitive version of "Great Green Gobs of Greasy, Grimy Gopher Guts". [2] She is the daughter of filmmaker Toshi Seeger and Pete Seeger, a legendary American folk musician.
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. [3] Mexico expelled Seeger from Mexico at the end of the year. [4]
Mika's ceramic murals were often created with other artists, including local school children. [5]
Seeger is married to Joe Bossom, with whom she has two children. She had one child, Tao Rodríguez-Seeger, from her relationship with Emilio Rodríguez, a Puerto Rican filmmaker.
