Exhibition by South Wales Skylight, a group with lived experience of homelessness, inviting visitors to reflect on what home means.
Home: The Key to Hope is showing at Y Storfa in Swansea, and it's on until 8 January, so there's plenty of time to catch it over the winter. It's an exhibition put together by Crisis, and the work itself comes from members of South Wales Skylight, a group of people with lived experience of homelessness.
That's the thing that sets this apart from a lot of what you'll see in a gallery. These aren't pieces made by someone looking in from the outside; they're made by people who've been through it. The exhibition asks you to stand in the shoes of someone experiencing homelessness and to think about what home actually means, and what it feels like when you don't have somewhere to call your own. For the people who've been there, a place to call home is often the key to hope, and that's the idea the whole thing works around.
It's a quiet, reflective kind of show, the sort that stays with you after you've left. If you've never given much thought to what home means beyond four walls and a roof, it's a good place to start. And because it's on until 8 January, you can take your time with it rather than rushing in on a single afternoon.
