In the winter of 2016, homeless people in Mandurah, Western Australia, were invited to use disposable cameras to record and share their experiences with the general public.  The result is a collection of deeply moving images that show a raw, authentic view of our city from a very different perspective.  Using these images, local artist Helen Coleman created a series of photo-encaustic artworks, to raise awareness and share information about how we can help our community's most vulnerable members.

​

The artwork was displayed in an outdoor gallery in Mandjar Square as part of Mandurah's Stretch Art Festival, 4-10 May, 2017.

 

This project was supported by WestAus Crisis, the City of Mandurah and Shape Mandurah.
