About the Exhibition: “UN(SEEN) REALITIES” goes beyond a typical
exhibition with contribution from about BA1 (offering concepts on temporary
shelters to reduce rough sleeping, and the MSSA Climate Action Group.(CAG).
It is an invitation to witness the raw realities faced by those experiencing
homelessness. Our judging panel consists of various representatives from
'Shelter UK' and the 'Royal Photographic Society' as well as the heads of
Manchester School of Architecture. The exhibition is a curation of photos
submitted from various places from the world, to create a moving,
enlightening and perceptive challenging picture.
In addition to the photographic exhibition highlighting the reality on both a
national and international level, we have been working closely with BA1 leads
to help curate the top 15 projects they collectively feel respond best to the
brief of a 'temporary shelter'. We hope for these projects to offer an
insight into the ways temporary living could accommodate the homeless and
provide shelter and protection. There is also the inclusion of competition
entries from the 'Climate Action Group'.
