About this event

Giving a voice to people in Cornwall who have struggled with housing insecurity or homelessness.

A moving and insightful exhibition giving voice to people in Cornwall who have struggled with housing insecurity or homelessness since the start of the pandemic opens this month – led by St Petrocs, a charity supporting adults in Cornwall struggling with housing, facing or experiencing homelessness.

People. Project Cornwall shares the experiences of 70 people interviewed living in Cornwall through indoor and outdoor photographic portrait exhibitions, a website and book, and challenges negative societal stigma and stereotypes by stating that all people deserve homes.

The first location of the multi-site pan-Cornwall outdoor exhibition was unveiled at the Eden Project Sleep Out on 10 November and it’s now rolling out at nearly 40 locations across Cornwall, each displaying one of the portraits.

A number of high-profile partners have signed up to host one of the outdoor portraits including the Eden Project, the Minack Theatre, Rick Stein Restaurants, BBC Radio Cornwall and Jubilee Pool alongside smaller organisations and members of the public who’ve volunteered to display a portrait outside their business or home.

To find out where you can see the portraits, visit our website.

This innovative and ambitious St Petrocs project is a collaboration with social documentary photographer Gavan Goulder and community arts organisation StreetDraw24 – who are all working together to shine a light on an issue that increasingly affects the whole of the UK.
