MILITANT ENTERTAINMENT
.RAR-MET:2022 captures the excitement of the moment and the thirst for change which has contemporary resonance. We showcase RAR’s punky-reggae aesthetic through posters, badges, stickers, leaflets, letters from young fans across the world, as well as striking graphics from the legendary RAR fanzine, Temporary Hoarding. Articles, montages and interviews range from abortion rights to anti-colonial struggles around the world.
The energy of this unique cultural/political moment in British music history is documented by photographers including Caroline Coon, Henry Grant, Peter Marlow, Neil Martinson, Red Saunders, John Sturrock, Paul Trevor, Virginia Turbett and Val Wilmer and material from associated campaigns including Rock Against Sexism, the Anti-Nazi League, Asian Youth and Gay Rights.
