Growing up in the new age

Growing Up in the New Age is an artist-initiated research project which explores an alternate world: forays into all things `New Age’ set against the era’s sociopolitical happenings, from communes in the south of France to squatting in South London and `free school’ education. Using a range of approaches — including photography/digital imaging, film and video, writing, collecting, re-using archival materials and the web — Growing Up in the New Age sets out to reconsider the social utopias of the 1960s and early ‘70s, and what we might learn from them today. Essays by Malcolm Dickson, Brigitte Ryley, Peter Ryley, Val Williams.
