A Story of Homelessness
In deciding to tell the stories of six young homeless people whose various life experiences have forced them to leave the security of a family home we were in a very real sense taking a similar 'detour' ourselves from our formerly predictable artistic journeys. Each of us had strong personal reasons for our early interest in basing this exhibition on the issues faced by today's young people and it was a chance meeting with the CEO of the Melbourne Citymission which confirmed our decision and gave shape to our process.
Over the past 3 years we have grown as individuals and artists as we have come to know these wonderful young people who have most generously shared with us their stories. In allowing us to use their images to create an exhibition they are playing an important role in changing widely held negative perceptions of 'homelessness'.
We thank Melbourne Citymission for believing in the power of art to tell a story.
