Images that change perceptions
A person’s image says a lot about them, but what is really behind an image? Behind HomelessCommons, there are people who have lived on the street and volunteers and workers at Arrels, all of whom have lent their images to help break an persistent barrier: prejudice against homeless people.My heart means more than what a mirror says because – in the end – the mirror will break, but your heart never goes away
Salvador, 5 years on the street
What can you do with these images?
- Illustrate your personal projects: a poster, a greetings card, a digital publication, or any other creative design.
- Add value to your professional projects: adverts, corporate materials, websites, or other business projects.
HomelessCommons is the first collection of images to feature people who have lived on the street, but it’s also part of a much more ambitious project. We want to create a HomelessCommons hallmark – a fair and solidarity-showing licence inspired by Creative Commons – which will provide free photographs, fonts, and other contributions made by people who want to invest the goods of their trade to make our goal possible: #nobodysleepingonthestreet.
What’s the story behind each image?
In Barcelona there are more than 1,000 people who sleep on the street every night Manel, Paco, Valerio, Salvador, and Esteban are some of those people who have lived on the street and who, along with the workers and volunteers at Arrels, have contributed their images to make Homeless Commons possible. Using one of these images not only brings attention to an invisible reality, but also lends a helping hand to the more than 3,000 homeless people we assist each year. Above all, you will be helping to challenge prejudices and assisting in making our goal, #nobodysleepingonthestreet, possible.
