Publisher's Synopsis
NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) is an artist book by Josh Wright accompanying the project of the same name with Contemporary Collaborations and Robert Young Antiques in Battersea. According to Labour MP Marsha De Cordova in an article written in April of last year there are now almost 7,000 families on Wandsworth and Battersea Councils waiting list. Housing developments should be solving this crisis, but unless the government's starts prioritising residents over developers, it will only add fuel to the fire. This zine provides an eclectic mix of firsthand accounts, drawings and interviews.
