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 three children.
