Event details
If you were homeless, where would you go for help?
Frequently Asked Questions, a new exhibition by artist Anthony Luvera (Associate Professor from the Centre for Arts, Memory and Communities), in collaboration with Gerald Mclaverty, uncovers the shocking and poignant challenge faced by those living on the streets.
Produced in association with Museum of Homelessness, the exhibition gives a picture of how services both help and hinder the estimated 320,000 homeless people in Britain, and offers an insight into the challenges and realities faced by the most marginalised individuals as they attempt to access systems of care.
There are also a number of public events which are freely available to attend at the exhibition venue:
