Ace text by Cassie Thornton about Marc Garrett's book, Feral Class.

"It can appear as if the academy and its sister institutions, prisons and pensions, professionalise and discipline all that is untameable and wild. What if a disorganised class of people were here to ruin that story?"

I'm not a terrorist, I'm feral class

An invitation to some kind of collective unsafe space for the disobedient and unhappy: a foreward to a new book by Marc Garrett

BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: A higher up at the Bureau of Prisons WAIVED Ghislaine Maxwell's sex offender status in order to transfer her to a minimum security camp in Texas, per source. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

EXCLUSIVE: Someone Waived Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Offender Status to Move Her to a Minimum Security Camp in Texas

According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it. That's what happened here.

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?

Through humorous, vivid storytelling and incisive critique, Garrett explores how his upbringing shaped his identity, forging a path that defied societal expectations.

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.

Furtherfield @furtherfield.bsky.social · Jul 23

Marc’s story reminds us of the urgent need to uplift, fund, and amplify the next generation of working-class artists before their contribution is lost completely.

At Furtherfield, challenging the entrenched class inequalities of the art world has always been at the heart of our work. Today, as rising costs, hostile institutions, eroded social welfare, and dwindling opportunities push working-class artists to the margins.

Furtherfield is thrilled to announce the release of Feral Class, a bold and deeply personal memoir by its co-founder Marc Garrett. This powerful narrative chronicles his journey as a working-class artist navigating a system designed to exclude voices like his.
