Have you ever bought the Big Issue? Have you ever talked to one of the sellers? If you met this man (and his dog) what do you think you might talk about? What would buying the Big Issue mean to him?

Art and Images (continued)

Here we look at more images of home and homelessness. Continue to consider what the pictures suggest to you or remind you of. What ideas come to mind? Some of these pictures might inspire and engage you; others might challenge or disturb you.

You might like to take or find some photographs of your own and create a collage or album for you or your group to look at. You could perhaps put copies of the pictures around your own group space so that you move around to look at or compare them. In your journey through these resources you could also write down some thoughts and ideas in your journal or blog or, if you are doing this in a group, write some words reflecting your thoughts on a piece of paper.

Navigating the pathways

From here, you can travel as a visitor through a number of pathways through the various cell-spaces finding out what it is like to be an inmate here.

Yellow journey

Word and text based. You can interact with what people are saying and discussing about unjust imprisonment now.

Blue journey

Focussed on bible study, prayer, worship, song and reflective story telling.

Green journey

Engage with pictures, external web and book resources, video clips and various activities, including cooking and eating a meal.

Pink journey

Personal commitments, reflection, and following Jesus more closely. The final pink space is the space where you may or may not be allowed to leave, where you can consider what you have learned, been surprised by, challenged by and assess how you might have changed.

You can mix and match your journey through the different spaces depending on what you would most like to explore, study or do.
