Rising East 7 - the Creative London Conversation
Friday 21 September 2007
Is London making a living from creativity? Is 'Creative London' prompted by increased investment in culture industries, greater dependence on cultural policy, or a whole lotta hype?
Click on the new issue of Rising East, http://www.risingeast.org/ for intelligent comment.
Leading the conversation about Creative London are Alan Freeman on behalf of GLA Economics, senior consultant John Newbigin, and acerbic critic James Heartfield. And, in an extract from his new book co-written with Dan Atkinson, the Guardian's Larry Elliott pulls the chain on 'Bullshit Britain'.
Other features include:
- Sonya Dyer on ‘culturally diverse’ artists
- Mitchell Panayis on Lock Stock London
- Nicola Samson on Bangladeshis belonging
- Richard Woolfenden on Bethnal Green
- Captain Nemesis in praise of Prescott
Rising East Online combines analysis and scholarly work with reportage, comment, reviews, interviews and illustration. It is published by the London East Research Institute at the University of East London (UEL).
