Exhibition by people who have experienced homelessness to be held at The Bombed Out Church

A new exhibition at The Bombed Out Church, named ‘Perspectives’ showcases photography and writing by individuals who have experienced homelessness — but are not defined by it.

Presented by The Whitechapel Centre, Friends of Her’s CIC & The Bombed Out Church, it features photographs of Liverpool through a view of often overlooked perspectives. It also includes writing from the New Beginnings Men’s Creative Writing Group, giving voice to stories beyond the visual.

Created by the Whitechapel Centre’s Pathways and New Beginnings projects, the work was developed in photography sessions led by Tony Mallon (Digit in the Rib Photographic Art), and made possible with the support of Friends of Her’s.

Maria Ashes, of The Whitechapel Centre, has been closely involved in the exhibition, said:

“These images and words are not about homelessness; they are about perspective, creativity, and the power of seeing the world through a lens rarely given space. Creativity can be deeply empowering — a way to reclaim voice, agency, and connection. These works speak to the power of expression and the importance of being recognised beyond circumstance.”

The exhibition will be open at St Luke’s Bombed Out Church, Leece St, Liverpool, L1 2TR from Wednesday June 4th, 2025.
