Homeless Gallery

[jbielikowski]

Hey people, this week in Warsaw, we have Homeless Gallery. Its quite awsome, cause you can enter and hang your works for free. Check the site, maybe it will be soon in your town, its worldwide. Here are some shots to show how it look like.

Sounds like an interesting project. What would be interesting would be to contrast the possibly different styles/perceptions of homeless in different countries.

This is the best thing I've seen this week, month, or even longer!

Check the site, maybe it will be soon in your town, its worldwide. Here are some shots to show how it look like.

I freaking hope so! In fact, how difficult it should be to organize? That's it, I'm gonna try to throw a few people together, there are plenty of places in Amsterdam, indoors and outdoors, it's summer, it can be done, and it has big awesomeness potential.
You're a hero!


PS: is the theme the homeless? I guess it could be made into anything.

Very cool. How'd they get that space?

Homeless is the name of the gallery 😉 Its an idea of polish photographer Tomasz Sikora and organized by him and his friend all over the world. They search for places that will be make-over and occupy for a week. This one is old vet faculty, now bought by Sinfonia Varsovia and will be changed into concert hall or something like that.

Interesting concept. I wonder who decides who gets to hang in the bright big room w/ north light, and who gets the basement 🙂

I tried the link, but no go.
