As part of our anniversary celebrations, we are creating a new exhibition that will bring together lived experience, frontline perspectives and artistic responses to explore the realities of homelessness, recovery and support.

Drawing on the experiences of our workforce and the people we support, the exhibition explores the themes of trauma, hope and independence through art, spoken word, sound, film and personal testimony.

It features work by local artist Beatrice Giaquinto, a spoken word performance by David ‘Stickman’ Higgins, and an original artwork by Inge Tong, inspired by stories shared throughout the project.

Bringing together paintings, installations, spoken word, real-life testimonies and a collage of ‘street sounds’ experienced by people sleeping rough, our dedicated exhibition invites visitors to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges people can face and the role support can play in helping them move forward.

There will be an accompanying collection of poetry plus a series of art postcards, all created by Framework service users, available for sale at selected exhibition venues and by contacting Framework’s Fundraising team.
