Time is Away - 1968 student sit in at Hornsey College of Art.

This month’s programme explores the ‘Hornsey Affair’. In May 1968, students at Hornsey College of Art staged a seven-week sit-in. Within the wider ferment of 1968, what began as a disagreement over funds for the Student Union soon became an experiment in enhanced participatory democracy. In discussions that still feel fresh today, students and staff interrogated the nature of arts education and, more importantly, the social, political and economic structures that underpin it.
