Homepage is a visual arts programme for young people who have experienced homelessness. The relaxed studio environment provides an opportunity for participants to explore their creative ideas using a wide range of media (ceramics, printmaking, digital technology, drawing and painting). The art work is highly individual as each person seeks to develop technical skills and their own visual language.

This current exhibition is a presentation of new work made at the regular weekly workshop. As opposed to creating a show that would include the vastly varying styles of work produced by individual participants of the workshop, the group decided to work collaboratively to produce a collective vision.

Inspired by artists such as Andy Warhol and Banksy, the group decided to use the popular process of stencil graffiti, to create vibrant and colourful self-portraits of various dimensions.
