UK punk and politics 1975 – 84
Punk, or subversive art more generally, plays a vital role in our society by encouraging the spread of non-mainstream ideas and brings social discontent into the spotlight. Subversive art opens up a continuous dialogue between all members of any society and maintains a constant, cyclical and revolutionary discourse confronting the status quo.
