Facing Homelessness | Picturing Homelessness
K-6th Grades
Presented in partnership with the Saturday Kids' Club of the Stewpot
The Stewpot staff with support from The Museum of Street Culture worked with the children in the Saturday Kids’ Club to develop their ideas about homelessness and how they visualize it. They created artworks portraying homelessness in terms of both the way things are now, and what they would like to see happen to the same people in the future. Instructors facilitated discussions about how this type of change occurs, and how art acts as a catalyst for changing the world around us. Participants were able to view their artworks in an exhibition in conjunction with Mary Ellen Marks' work in January 2018.
