Defund Culture: A Radical Proposal: Why the arts are so white, male and middle-class and what we can do about it

Research output: Book/ReportBookpeer-review

Abstract

Demonstrating that it is upper- and middle-class, privately educated, Oxbridge graduates who receive the majority of funding and support when it comes to the creative industries in the UK, Defund Culture argues powerfully that resources and opportunities should be disinvested from the cultural sphere as it exists now, and redistributed to other sections of society, in order to generate art, media and creativity that is more diverse and less boring, homogeneous and anti-intellectual.
