<b><a href="https://www.minorcompositions.info/?p=1561">Feral
Class</a></b><br>
Marc Garrett<br>
Foreword by Cassie Thornton<br>
<br>
<i>Untamed, Unheard, Unstoppable… a moving memoir about being a
working-class artist… Art on the Margins, Life Without
Permission</i><br>
<br>
<i>Feral Class</i> is Marc Garrett’s deeply personal and
thought-provoking exploration of his early years, chronicling his
journey as a working-class artist navigating a world that often
rejects them. Through humorous, vivid storytelling and incisive
critique, Garrett explores how his upbringing shaped his identity,
forging a path that defied societal expectations. How can one
survive, let alone thrive, as part of what Garrett describes as
the feral class: a group of individuals who, like him, exist
outside traditional institutions and thrive in the margins, using
resourcefulness and rebellion to carve out their own artistic
spaces?<br>
<br>
Weaving together personal memories, political reflections, and the
struggles of working-class artists, Feral Class challenges the
elitism of the art world. It celebrates the radical potential of
those who refuse to conform. Garrett’s narrative is both an
intimate self-portrait and a rallying cry for artists who refuse
to be tamed. Passionate, unfiltered, and insightful, this book is
an essential read for anyone interested in the intersections of
class, creativity, and resistance.<br>
<br>
<b>Bio:</b> Marc Garrett’s life and work embody the intersection
of art, technology, and social change, shaped by his working-class
upbringing and a commitment to challenging institutional
hierarchies. Growing up in Southend-On-Sea, he explored creative
expression through street art, pirate radio, and early online
activism before co-founding Furtherfield in 1996 with Ruth Catlow,
an artist-led community resisting the commercialisation of the art
world. Despite personal challenges, including a cancer diagnosis
in 2022, Garrett continues to focus on ideas and questions that
acknowledge and engage working-class and feral-class contexts as a
springboard for more extensive dialogues on creating conditions
for social change across art, technology, and ecology.<br>
