Orian Brook, Dave O’Brien & Mark Taylor: Is Culture Bad For You?

The benefits of culture to health, education and community are championed, but can culture ever do wrong? First published in 2020, academics and creative industry experts Orian Brook, Dave O'Brien and Mark Taylor's Culture is Bad for You breaks down the heated debate around arts work in Britain, its systems of precarity, and the exclusion of women, people of colour, and working-class people. Freshly updated for the post-Covid era, its concerns have only grown more urgent. Chaired by Morvern Cunningham.
