With images selected from over 45,000 photos taken from a round-the-world trip interviewing street performers, this book gives a unique, beautiful look at the world of busking, split into four main sections:
Part 1: Malls Without Walls, exploring the impact of changing cities on the art of street performance, including the rise of pseudo-public spaces and how bad policy is affecting buskers lives.
Part 2: Freedom of Expression, where we look at the motivations and eccentricities of street performers, and the politics of putting yourself out there.
Part 3: Challenging Assumptions, taking apart some of the common misconceptions people have about street performers
Part 4: The Busking Project, where we tell our readers how we managed to capture this footage, and what The Busking Project is all about.
