At the fantastic @RHomelessness conference in my old home city of Lincoln today. Here to talk about the campaign to repeal the #VagrancyAct and framing how we talk about homelessness. #ScraptheAct

The conference over the past 2 days has been inspiring and complex, bringing together different people to question the representation and stereotypes of homelessness.

"I believe fighting homelessness is an ongoing battle."

[Representing Homelessness @RHomelessness]

"A lot of people don't expect me to be homeless, because I look after myself […] they expect me to look dirty."
"I've been called baghead, swear words, it's not nice."
Heart-breaking to hear from one of Anthony Luvera's interviewees.

Interesting to see Anthony Luvera talking about his recent set of work, Assembly in Brighton, based on people's experiences and assisting people to create their self-portraits.

The Homeless population at Skid's Row have been blamed for the Typhus Epidemic across LA, although homeless people are not responsible for 80% of the food waste that caused rat infestation.
A startling fact from Susan Phillips.

"People's pain is part of the streets."
A heart-warming account of the togetherness of people in Skid's Row and the delicacy of street art depicting butterflies, flowers, hearts and decorative art-while still fighting to hold the government to account.

Dr Susan A. Phillips is showing us multiple photos of street graffiti in LA's Skid Row, including non-homeless tags and depictions of people's backgrounds and stories.

Dr Tymon Adamczewski talked us through a hard-hitting Polish book designed to force the reader to experience street exposure like the homeless.
