Description
The Bath Arts Workshop was a vibrant counterculture that emerged in the late 1960s and flourished throughout the 1970s. In this book, Brian Popay explores the story behind the organisation's creation and its significant impact at the time. From its humble beginnings in a Georgian basement in 1969, the Bath Arts Workshop grew into a spectacular flowering of creative activity, community technology, and social enterprise. The authors delve behind the scenes to describe how it worked, the range and scale of its activities, and how many of its ideas continue to resonate today. This book offers a unique insight into an organisation that played a significant role in shaping the cultural landscape of the time.
