Culture Is Bad for You

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the precarious state of art workers, this revised edition challenges the notion that culture is solely beneficial. It critiques the systemic exclusion of women, people of color, and working-class individuals in the UK’s cultural landscape, revealing that promises of inclusivity remain largely unfulfilled, especially post-COVID. The book argues that until inequalities in the workforce and audience are addressed, the true potential of culture to enrich society cannot be achieved, making a compelling case for the transformation of cultural and creative industries.
