Exhibition marking the 25th anniversary of Framework, the Lincoln charity for people experiencing homelessness, with paintings, installations, spoken word and the Framework Community Quilt.
Framework is marking its 25th anniversary with an exhibition at the Lincoln Cathedral Chapter House, running from Tuesday 27 October to Thursday 5 November. Framework is the Lincoln charity that supports people experiencing homelessness, and the show was commissioned to mark a quarter-century of that work.
It's a mixed-media exhibition, so you'll find a few different things to look at and listen to in one space. There are major new works by artist Beatrice Giaquinto, a spoken word performance by Dave 'Stickman' Higgins, and a new original work by artist Inge Tong. Alongside those, the exhibition brings together painting, installation, and real-life testimonies, including a collage of 'street sounds' recorded by people sleeping rough—the kind of noise you'd hear if you were out there yourself. The whole thing is built around the challenges of life on the streets, and the testimonies give it a direct, human anchor.
One of the more community-focused pieces on display is Framework's Community Quilt, a collaborative artwork made from more than 250 panels. Those panels came from individuals, schools, scout groups, faith groups, and community organisations across the city, so it's a bit of a map of the people who've got involved with the charity over the years.
