Wayne Tippetts — Protest, Youth, Reinvention London 1984–85
36 pages
printed in England
staple bound
14cm x 20cm
March, Movement, Youth and Struggle. London 1984–85.
These photos, taken between 1984 and 1985, document a London of protest, youthful energy, and cultural transformation.
A period of Thatcherism, anti-racist struggle, and a rising wave of multicultural expression across the city. From a hospital workers’ strike in East London to anti-Apartheid resistance; from pub culture to the early signs of hip-hop emerging along the Southbank.
On the streets, a generation shaped its voice and at public gatherings, London is caught between austerity and invention — a city that, despite constant pressure, keeps reinventing and creating itself anew. ‘Protest, youth culture and reinvention’ — nothing new here. But in the grip of Thatcherism, with strikes on the ground and apartheid abroad, the city was pushed to a breaking point.
