Fantastic night last night at the IN SIGHT photography project exhibition launch. 40 images from the work of our IN SIGHT photographers was up on show for all to see and looked amazing. We were absolutely delighted with the turnout and want to say a massive thanks to everyone who came, to all our exhibiting photographers and to all the partners, volunteers and sponsors that helped out on the night to make the event as good as it could be. The IN SIGHT exhibition will run in Powerscourt Centre until May 29th so be sure to check it out if you can.
IN SIGHT is a unique project highlighting the issue of homelessness in Ireland through the lens of those that have lived it, i.e. people who are now or have recently been homeless. Over the course of 12 months 45 people were given a disposable camera, photography training and asked to take photos that tell their personal stories of homelessness, to show the world through their eyes. An exhibition of their work runs in Powerscourt Centre Dublin from May 5th to 29th. All photos are also on display and can be purchased at www.theinsightproject.ie with money raised going to the Dublin Simon Community.
