We explored another poster direction. Interesting 🤪, but not quite inviting enough for the film we’re making. That’s part of the process
Livicated is about transmission, memory, and intimacy. The poster has to welcome people in, not stand in the way.

This isn’t the poster for our documentary Livicated. We intentionally tried this angle, and while it has strong elements, it doesn’t fully reflect the film's tone yet. We’re glad we tested it; now let’s move on to the next angle... #bobmarley

Unreleased Bob Marley tapes from Roger Steffens’ Reggae Archives, original cassettes, handwritten notes, and strict “no copies” markings.
More than recordings, these are working documents capturing moments of process, trust, and living history.
Huge thanks to John Dubois for the photos. #bobmarley

Steel Pulse autographed album cover. A special section of the archives is livicated to Steel Pulse, as Roger has a great admiration for them. In Roger’s case, an autograph is never just a signature. Each signed album represents hours of conversation, shared reasoning, verbal history, and anecdotes

Yesterday, I found this newspaper clip at Roger Steffens' Reggae Archives
Marley's core point was simple: punk and Rastafari were not the same thing, but they shared a rejection of oppressive systems, racism, and authority, what Marley called “Babylon.”

We had a photo session with Roger Steffens today to create the poster.
An intimate shoot inside the archives, surrounded by decades of history, stories, and music. Not everyone is visible in the photos, but it was very much a collective moment.
More to come.

This photo shows pins from around the world, some of them hand-painted, collected, and preserved by Roger Steffens over the course of decades. Each one marks a place, a moment, a listener, proof of how far the music traveled and how deeply it landed.
It represents only about 5% of Roger's collection

Hiding inside Roger’s Reggae Archives, Judgement In A Babylon / One Drop (c. 1980) is a 12-inch single by Lee “Scratch” Perry, bearing Perry’s own hand-drawn and written interventions on the sleeve, his personal touch added directly onto Roger’s copy.

Ephemeral paper. Permanent history.
An original street poster from the Roger Reggae Archives.
This is how reggae history actually lived, stapled to walls, passed hand to hand, made to support musicians and culture in real time.

Roger Steffens is holding unreleased interview tapes recorded with Bunny Wailer for an autobiography that was never published. Not because of conflict, but because Bunny chose not to fix his life and philosophy permanently in print.

In the early 80s, Roger Steffens helped introduce Fela Kuti to the U.S. Through radio, writing & rare access, he documented a revolutionary who fought corruption & military brutality, proving Afrobeat wasn’t only entertainment. "Music is a weapon!" #livicated #movie #rogersteffens #lAfroBeat #love

We’re almost there. The film Livicated is about 95% finished, and after all these years, that still feels a bit surreal to write.
We did hit one of those documentary nightmares: a hard drive failure that cost us quite a bit of footage and a couple of original clips. It means a small reshoot, but ho

This is one of the nearly 1k posters of legendary reggae bands from around the world that Roger collected, and it’s my absolute favorite. A pure piece of art Culture at the Bataclan in Paris, 1981. This poster captures a moment when reggae carried history, resistance, and poetry onto iconic stages
