About the Project
Reenvisioning the Homeless is an interactive exhibition and dinner, featuring collaboratively developed photos restaging classical paintings which were taken on the streets of Brooklyn, as well as video projections and audio work.
The exhibition is the cumulative event of a continued investigation into issues of homelessness in collaboration with members of the homeless community and people in transitional housing in Greenpoint (2013) and Crown Heights (2015).
