DIY (Do It Yourself) is a cultural phenomenon flourishing in many countries all over the world. This collection will focus on DIY culture in the West from the U.K. to the United States. The collection answers the question; where did the term DIY come from? It encompasses many ideas and practice of self-made-culture from home improvement, the alternative music scene, to arts and craft revolution we see spreading everywhere.
