The meaning of home: a StreetCare art project
In the lead up to Homelessness Week 2024, StreetCare and the Homeless Persons’ Legal Service put on a series of art workshops for people who have experienced homelessness.
At the Wayside Chapel, Wentworth Park, the Surry Hills Community Café and Central Station food vans, participants were invited to create art based on the theme ‘the meaning of home’. Their canvas was cardboard, regularly used by as bedding by people sleeping rough.
The results were spectacular, ranging from collage and installation to text-based design and intricate paint work.
More than 60 pieces were created and put on display at a homelessness week event, where guests included the Minister for Housing and Homelessness Rose Jackson, Les Grainger Director Homelessness Strategy from the Department of Communities and Justice, City of Sydney Councillor Sylvie Ellsmore and representatives from Greens MP Jenny Leong and Independent MP for Sydney, Alex Greenwich.
