Health Home Hope - A photographic exhibition on housing and health.
“Tell the story of what health looks and feels like, and what it means to you” is the prompt the exhibition contributors with lived experience of homelessness were given alongside a digital camera. The captioned photographs depict how homelessness results in considerable suffering. Yet, they also tell stories of ingenuity and solidarity in the pursuit of health. This exhibition reimagines ‘health’ in the context of housing instability as something that is lived and done in relation with others. What is it then, that needs to be done to support the health practices of people who are unstably housed?
