I also researched into rave culture and how it linked to social political and youth activism. History shows how documenting dancing and partying can also capture society and current political states. It also links to activsm as people had to protest for their rights to party and dance and I also believe raves were places where youth went to escape, connect and feel free during britain in the 80’s. I watched the ‘Everybody In The Place’ documentary by Jeremy Deller which showed many archived pieces from pictures, music and video footage of the rave culture era. The film allowed me to witness the protest, gatherings, warehouse parties and understand why they had to portest against this. I also found it interesting how different races would hold their own parties as they were not accepted in certain places. To me the film truly captures britain and how rave culture changed it. It also highlights the important of music and how its brings people together and was a escape for people who were maybe unemployed or struglling in life. The doucmentary inspired me to plan a shoot in a drum and bass club in Brighton. In the images I hope to capture a modern style of rave culture and how music allows young people to be free. I want to photograph people completely absobed and lost in music and photos that depict the youth of today. Youth today have recently been in a uncertain political time in britain which create a lot of feelings of anxiety for the future. Many of the people in the images will be university students who use clubbing to escape from stress, feel free, liberated and alive.
By the way I think this has a temporary effect, because I did a wider search on such resources https://supremestudy.com/essay-examples/stress/ and I understood that stress is actually a serious problem of the community and this should help to overcome it, besides I think that colleges should teach such subjects as moral education or psychology.
