Feral Class by Marc Garrett
Untamed, Unheard, Unstoppable… a moving memoir about being a working-class
artist… Art on the Margins, Life Without Permission
Feral Class is Marc Garrett’s deeply personal and thought-provoking exploration
of his early years, chronicling his journey as a working-class artist
navigating a world that often rejects them. Through humorous, vivid
storytelling and incisive critique, Garrett explores how his upbringing shaped
his identity, forging a path that defied societal expectations. How can one
survive, let alone thrive, as part of what Garrett describes as the feral
class: a group of individuals who, like him, exist outside traditional
institutions and thrive in the margins, using resourcefulness and rebellion to
carve out their own artistic spaces?
Weaving together personal memories, political reflections, and the struggles of
working-class artists, Feral Class challenges the elitism of the art world. It
celebrates the radical potential of those who refuse to conform. Garrett’s
narrative is both an intimate self-portrait and a rallying cry for artists who
refuse to be tamed. Passionate, unfiltered, and insightful, this book is an
essential read for anyone interested in the intersections of class, creativity,
and resistance.
Foreword by Cassie Thornton.
