Taking a break from going wild in the country by relaxing with a copy of Feral Class, the new book by Marc Garrett.

I'm not a terrorist, I'm feral class An invitation to some kind of collective unsafe space for the disobedient and unhappy: a foreward to a new book by Marc Garrett

Ace text by Cassie Thornton about Marc Garrett's book, Feral Class.

"It can appear as if the academy and its sister institutions, prisons and pensions, professionalise and discipline all that is untameable and wild. What if a disorganised class of people were here to ruin that story?"

Small selection of drawings by Ruth Catlow. Visual workings out of a psychic process that connects her with Interspecies projects and ecological art, thoughtful meditations.

EXCLUSIVE: Someone Waived Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Offender Status to Move Her to a Minimum Security Camp in Texas According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it. That's what happened here.

How can one survive, let alone thrive, as part of what Garrett describes as the feral class: a group of individuals who, like him, exist outside traditional institutions and thrive in the margins, using resourcefulness and rebellion to carve out their own artistic spaces?

Through humorous, vivid storytelling and incisive critique, Garrett explores how his upbringing shaped his identity, forging a path that defied societal expectations.

Feral Class is Marc Garrett’s deeply personal and thought-provoking exploration of his early years, chronicling his journey as a working-class artist navigating a world that often rejects them.

Marc’s story reminds us of the urgent need to uplift, fund, and amplify the next generation of working-class artists before their contribution is lost completely.

At Furtherfield, challenging the entrenched class inequalities of the art world has always been at the heart of our work. Today, as rising costs, hostile institutions, eroded social welfare, and dwindling opportunities push working-class artists to the margins.

Furtherfield is thrilled to announce the release of Feral Class, a bold and deeply personal memoir by its co-founder Marc Garrett. This powerful narrative chronicles his journey as a working-class artist navigating a system designed to exclude voices like his.

What whistleblowers teach us about the modern world - Transforming Society Iain Munro and Kate Kenny, editors of 'Perspectives on Whistleblowing', show how whistleblowers play a vital role in exposing abuse and protecting democracy, often at great personal cost, yet continue...

"In our book, Perspectives on Whistleblowing, we have combined whistleblowers’ first-hand accounts with contributions from public-interest lawyers, journalists and activists to provide an insight into specific high-profile cases. "

Hippies, Digital Gods and imaginary futures Since the Cold War, America has been in an ideological battle to own the future, argues London academic Richard Barbrook. Is this the key to understanding Donald Trump and his tech-bros?

I've been revisiting texts by Suzi Gablik and examining art by Fern Shaffer, both of whom worked in the late 80s and early 90s, exploring subjects such as ecology, feminism, and activism. I'm thinking shit! - We need to bring their contexts back into art & life right now!
