In the design research project Het Beelddepot, journalistic researchers, designers, social scientists, policy makers and experts by experience investigate new ways of visual communication. This exhibition presents the results of this investigation.

Searching for new perspectives on homelessness

The negative image of homelessness in the Netherlands influences public views. This hinders constructive policy making regarding homeless people. And this often has negative consequences for the self-image of young people. How can we reframe this issue? In the design research project Het Beelddepot, journalistic researchers, designers, social scientists, policy makers and experts by experience investigate new ways of visual communication. This exhibition presents the results of this investigation. Seven participating photographers tried to portray the issue in a more nuanced way. We ask you, as a visitor, the following question: what can we conclude from these photos? Do these images contribute to a better understanding of the daily life of homeless people? Your perspective is essential for the continuation of the research: images play a role in social debate and those debates contribute to new images. We invite you to share your opinion.
