What (Street) Art Can Do For Homelessness

One of the things that art can do for homelessness is to challenge it, together with the stereotypes and stigma that often accompany it – as if homelessness is not harsh enough.

The artworks are also featured onhttp://streetstories.org.uk/ where visitors can buy limited edition prints signed by the artists. Below are the artworks as displayed in Dalston and Shoreditch:
