The book offers critically informed analysis of the artists, theatre-makers, social enterprises, investigative journalists, cultural, heritage and charitable organisations drawing on socially committed arts practice. It highlights, documents and investigates artistic interventions that provoke new ways of perceiving homelessness and examines projects offering those who have experienced homelessness an opportunity to showcase their stories, heritage, creativity and cultural leadership. Capturing the breadth of socially committed arts practice in England, this book engages with arts and homelessness through a consideration of autobiographical performance, photography and graphic novel projects, performance installations and festivals, as well as digital and embodied memorialising outputs and events.
Homelessness in Performance, Art and Society is ideal for students and scholars of applied theatre, socially engaged theatre, and broader humanities studies that interrogate the intersections between homelessness and the arts, as well as artists and community activists with an interest in this field.
