homelessness


Homeless

Point mentioned at our kickoff meeting about the experience and iconography of homelessness. Does a blanket, a shopping cart, a pack of cigarettes, a bag of food, etc. (the elemental realities of homelessness) somehow fit into a place of remembrance? 

How do we convey the depressing mundane realities without abandoning the loftier goals of hope, healing, education, community, peace, etc? Is there a way to acknowledge the stark reality while encouraging a hopeful vision?
