CULTURE
Quotes:
"Art respects the masses, by confronting them as that which they could be, rather than conforming to them in their degraded state.” - Theodore Adorno
"Where is the content? Where is the comment?" Lawrence Zeegan (note: this article brings up some interesting points but is not one I wholly agree with!!)
"the first step to controlling your world is to control your culture. To model and demonstrate the kind of world you demand to live in. To write the books. Make the music. Shoot the films. Paint the art.” Chuck Palahniuk
Images:
David Shrigley, art culture but also generally
Art/ online culture
Zines have been used as a tool for subcultures and sending out political messages for years but seem to have become recently trendy too
Sara Andreasson: alt femme culture
Photographs:
British culture, thinking about youth culture but also Tories, Thatcherism, Middle England, the far right etc
Art culture: I think it's interesting to study how people react to art in public places, if they acknowledge it at all (and if they do it's probably to complain about it)
Riot Grrl fashion / Feminist DIY culture: I think it's interesting that there's been a big resurgence in this kind of thing recently, and whether it's influenced by the need for more aggressive feminism or because people feel like we are lacking in subcultures nowadays so we borrow from the past (but isn't fashion always cyclical?) Online social activism / feminism
