UK arts organisation that uses experimental writing and art to help self-expression, co-directed by artist Lois Blackburn and poet Philip Davenport. We work with communities who are often marginalised, especially homeless people and older people, including those living with dementia. To have a voice and be heard is a powerful human need. THE HOMELESS LIBRARY (2014-17) is the first history of British homelessness. A collection of books handmade by homeless people, reflecting on their lives and how they connect with the wider, previously unwritten heritage of homelessness. The books describe lived experience in interviews, poetry, art.
