NEW PROJECT STARTS IN JANUARY
Here Without Home invites you to pause and look again.
Through poetry, music, art, and film, we explore homelessness not through facts and figures, but through shared creativity and human experience. This is community art that asks questions, opens conversations, and offers new ways of seeing.
Step inside. Listen. Imagine with us.
Here Without Home is a community art project that begins with listening. Before facts, before statistics, we make space for ideas, stories, and shared imagination. Our work has always centred on exhibiting art and craft that asks gentle but powerful questions, inviting people to look again at the world around them.
Between January and March 2025 we have explored progressive themes such as sustainability, diversity, and digital culture. Not to sell objects, but to surface thinking things. Works that linger in the mind, open conversations, and offer new perspectives through creativity rather than instruction. Art, for us, is a way of thinking together.
This next chapter turns our attention to homelessness. Not as an abstract issue, but as a human experience that exists within our own streets, relationships, and daily lives. Here Without Home approaches this subject with care, curiosity, and respect, using creativity as a meeting place where empathy can grow and judgement can soften.
Central to the project is active collaboration with our community. We are creating four creative pathways, inviting poets, musicians, artists, and filmmakers to step forward and contribute their voices. These pathways are spaces for shared making, dialogue, and exploration, where different forms of expression intersect and inform one another.
By bringing these voices into conversation, Here Without Home becomes more than an exhibition. It is a living process shaped by participation, reflection, and collective imagination. Our ethos remains simple and steady: community art for all. We believe creativity can increase harmony, strengthen connection, and help communities see themselves, and each other, more clearly.
The Bones of the Project
Here without Home
– An Artlandish Community Project
Homelessness is often seen as an urban issue — visible on city streets, under bright lights and busy overpasses. But in smaller towns like Hereford, it takes quieter, more hidden forms. People sleep in doorways, in cars, on friend’s sofas, or simply move through each day without a place to call their own, or they are forced to flee their homes from wars and conflicts and are grateful for refuge, but their heart lies far away and to people who are forced to leave their homes due to domestic violence, to hide to stay safe, but lose their sense of belonging.
We propose a community art project exploring what “home” means when it’s uncertain, and how local communities respond to the challenges of homelessness in all its forms. We will gather stories from those involved, including support workers, charitable organisations and most importantly the people in our community who are here without a home. Through portraits, poems, music, stories, and collaborative artwork, the project aims to make visible those who are often unseen — not as statistics, but as neighbours, artists, and voices within the fabric of our towns.
By looking closely at Herefordshire, we reflect on a wider truth about England today: that housing insecurity, poverty, and social disconnection are not distant problems. They are part of our shared landscape — and it is within our smaller places that we can begin to rebuild belonging, compassion, and hope.
We have access to two shops on Gomond street number 4 & 7 (nearly opposite each other) which will allow us to have a gallery/performance space and a project space, this will give a workshop and a place to experiment with installation, inspiration and imagination, allowing both artists and the general public to interact in a less formal situation.
This project seeks to attract young and old, novice and accomplished, musicians, poet’s, artists of all mediums, filmmakers, story tellers.
The project will run from the Open Evening on Friday the 16th of January until March the 29th.
