BRIEF
‘Everyone has a right to a safe home and a lockable front door'
'17.5 million people are now impacted by the housing emergency. HSBC UK are working in partnership with Shelter to support people in crisis now and provide longer-term solutions that will help build financial resilience and reduce the risk of all forms of homelessness in the UK.
Earlier in 2023 Birmingham declared a housing emergency with 19,500 people on the housing register and 4,400 people stuck in temporary accommodation. Birmingham is the second worst city in England for homelessness. Together we want to raise awareness of the thousands of families and individuals stuck for years in unstable and unfit temporary accommodation.
Through a creative art installation positioned strategically throughout the city during the winter, we can highlight the true enormity of the housing crisis in Birmingham.'
In response to an open call for local artists, I designed and painted a door mural showcasing the stories of families and individuals experiencing homelessness.
Artists:
Vanessa Mountain, Rachel Akers, Rakha Madahar, Azim Omar Nobeebaccus, Lileth McAdam-Leng, Maureen Russell, Matt Grazier, Fungai Benhura, Reon Tombofa, Harry Charles.
