Culture is at the heart to what it means to be human. But
twenty-five years ago, the British government rebranded art and
culture as ‘creative industries’, valued for their economic
contribution, and set out to launch the UK as the creative workshop
of a globalised world. Where does that leave art and culture now?
Facing exhausted workers and a lack of funding and vision, culture
finds itself in the grip of accountancy firms, creativity gurus and
Ted Talkers. At a time of sweeping geo-political turmoil, culture
has been de-politicised, its radical energies reduced to factors of
industrial production. This book is about what happens when an
essential part of our democratic citizenship, fundamental to our
human rights, is reduced to an industry. Culture is not and
industry argues that art and culture need to renew their social
contract and re-align with the radical agenda for a more equitable
future. Bold and uncompromising, the book offers a powerful vision
for change. -- .
