Why do photographers create images of other people? Whose narratives are under-represented? Who is overly spoken for? Where do audiences encounter these photographs? Who is in control? These are some of the questions at the core of Anthony Luvera’s practice, where the participants in his projects are invited to work collaboratively to represent their lives and experiences.
When a family is experiencing homelessness, it becomes the duty of a local authority to move them into temporary accommodation. The reasons families face homelessness are many - they could be fleeing domestic violence, facing eviction, or struggling to meet the cost of increasing rent. There are 112,660 households in temporary accommodation in England, which includes 145,800 children. In comparison, 3,900 people are estimated to be
experiencing street homelessness.
Between 2022 and 2024, Luvera was been embedded within the team of Focused Care practitioners for homeless families at Shared Health Foundation, working with families living in temporary accommodation across Greater Manchester to represent their experiences through photography and audio recordings. Presented in this exhibition is a selection of portraits of the families and excerpts from conversations recorded with participants – a window into an often-hidden world. Each family has a different story about how they came to experience homelessness and where they are headed next.
