HOME: Exhibition Install & Launch Event Photos

Over 200 images, 80 international photographers, 100+ private view guests, and over 30 print sales within the first 3 hours of the exhibition being launched. Not bad for a converted cow shed in rural Wales!

On Saturday 05 October the beautiful Gallery at Home in Usk, Monmouthshire, lit up with smiles as guests poured into the gallery (and prosecco poured into their glasses) to view HOME, a powerful selection of photographic images from 80 generous photographers who have kindly donated their work in support of homelessness charities across the UK.

It was a lovely afternoon. Guests and photographers travelled from across the UK (with different levels of ease!) and everyone gave positive feedback on the format, the quality of the images, the use of space, the democracy of it all. People stayed for hours, chatting and enjoying the space – indoors and out. The weather held off, and thirty sheep were delivered to the field next door. A very good day, and a beautifully homely event.

Home can be found in a person, or a memory. Scars and skin, pin boards of photographs with frayed edges. Freckled noses, specks of dust in the light, long dark shadows and perspectives. Home can be anything, anywhere.

What does home mean to you?

Enjoy the images below, and then head over to check out our print sales page to see which images mean ‘home’ to you. Prints from the exhibition are available to purchase for just £35 from Gallery at Home in person (until 19 October) and online (here) between the dates of 05 October and 05 December 2019.

‘Thank you to all of the people who were involved in putting together ‘Home’. It’s a fantastic exhibition that looks stunning in a beautiful gallery, and we realise what a huge effort it takes to make these exhibitions great. The initiative led by you and your team to support homelessness charities and organisations in such a broad reaching and democratic way is truly inspiring. A big thank you to all those who attended the opening event, and those who have donated their time, money and effort to support Crisis, Toiletries Amnesty and Shelter by either submitting work or purchasing prints in support of such a innovative exhibition.’ – Adam Ruck, Director, Toiletries Amnesty.

HOME supports:

Crisis is the UK charity for homeless people. We are committed to ending homelessness. Every day we see the devastating impact homelessness has on people’s lives. Every year we work side by side with thousands of homeless people, to help them rebuild their lives and leave homelessness behind for good. Through our pioneering research into the causes and consequences of homelessness and the solutions to it, we know what it will take to end it.

Shelter Cymru is the people and homes charity in Wales; we believe that everyone in Wales has the right to a decent, secure home. In the midst of the current housing crisis, we work with people facing the trauma of homelessness by offering free, independent advice and legal support, and we tackle homelessness at its root cause through our campaigning work, bringing about change to housing legislation, policies and practices.

Toiletries Amnesty works, across the UK and abroad, supporting homeless shelters and hostels, women and children’s refuges, mental health services, food banks, and other organisations to alleviate hygiene poverty.

HOME a Shutter Hub exhibition in collaboration with Gallery at Home runs from 05-19 October 2019 and includes over 200 images from 80 international photographers.
