Why do young people end up on the street? Maybe they have been thrown out of their homes, maybe they have abandoned bad situations or have become homeless through addiction. Maybe they have left to be together or to try and find a better life in a distant city. Maybe they have been deceived by people who promised them a better future. What do you imagine these two could tell us about their lives?
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.
