Description
This book tells the story of the community arts movement, a well-known but largely undocumented creative revolution which shook cultural and social politics in Britain in the 1970s and continues its impact to this day. Drawing on oral histories and interviews with artists it documents the movement, while scholarly essays trace and assess its influence on contemporary practices.
