The Box, Plymouth is kicking off its public programme for Jeremy Deller's upcoming commission, 'The Triumph of Art', with a free screening of his 2019 film 'Everybody in the Place'. This film captures the importance of rave culture to contemporary British society and considers it in the context of a wider folk canon.

Rare and unseen archive materials map the journey from protest movements to abandoned warehouse raves, the white heat of industry bleeding into the chaotic release of the dancefloor. We join an A-level politics class as they discover these stories for the first time, viewing the story of acid house from a generation for whom it is already ancient history.

The screening will be introduced by Rhys Morgan, Plymouth-based artist and curator, currently working as the Art Fund Assistant Curator at the National Gallery to oversee the development and delivery of a near year-long public programme of collective and interactive activities and local performance events which began in June 2024.
