Everybody in the Place: An Incomplete History of Britain 1984-1992currently on show at 180 the Strand as part of the The Vinyl Factory: Reverb exhibition

Everybody in the Place: An Incomplete History of Britain 1984-1992 is not a film about climate change, but it is a film about lateral ways of thinking about modes of resistance: It can also be understood as it is a great introduction to the entanglement of capitalist structures at the root of the cliamte emergency and cultural production. 

The film dives into the world of music; examining the socio-political history of the 1980 rave culture and positioning it as a form of resistance to dominant powerstrucures and the miner’s strikes. This work is a film of a lecture Deller delivered to a class of A-level Politics students, it combines rare archive footage with an oral history tracing house music from its Chicago and Detroit origins to its political presence in post-Miners’ strike Britain.
