The Tate

We were honoured to be invited by the Tate Collective to produce an installation and host a workshop at the Tate Britain in April 2019 exploring our work, its motivations and findings. The installation contrasted mainstream media and canonical representations of homelessness with the participatory work produced by our photographers, using projectors, string, and cardboard to make explicit connections between individual images and pieces of text. We also opened up critical dialogue with the work of leading photojournalist Don McCullin, challenging conceptions of people experiencing homelessness as passive objects of observation, in a workshop for the Tate Collective’s young beneficiaries, social workers, some our previous participants, and members of the public. Participants were encouraged to make their own connections to the results of our previous projects, and their input was then featured as part of the installation itself, and documented by a team of young photography students we worked with especially.
