Young London squatters of the 70s and 80s:

At a time when young people flood the streets to protest in the face of austerity; when the housing crisis is at its worst in decades, and youth culture is forehead-to-forehead with the anachronistic government, the images of Smiler (#MarkCawson) and the writings of #NealBrown could not be more poignant. Now his rare and unseen images are being displayed for the first time at the @icalondon.

Iron Tory rule and social dissidence defined an era, where Smiler captured youth that inhabited London squats in the late 70s, 80s and 90s. For the young people at the time, ­squatting was a common way to avoid unnecessary expenditure in the city. The exhibition illustrates the squats of west London and Kings Cross, areas not yet on the cusp of the gentrification we witness today.

His portraits showcase the creativity and sexual autonomy of young people, creating an anti-establishment society of their own in the world's forgotten corners. They were scavenging lives for themselves and laughing chaotically in the face of a government who swept them aside. – words @annagranola #dazedinstastory
