Like its name, the Roaring Twenties was a loud and boisterous decade, marked by novelty, modernity and huge social, technological, and economic change. Following the dark days of the Great War, the decade spawned a generation of wealthy and privileged Bright Young Things. The Roaring Twenties was a period of enormous vitality in art and design. Lecturer Jo Banham will focus on this feature of the decade.
