I haven't Saatchi Gallery David John Tovey Amanda Sinclair Davenant 📸 And it is an honour to know you too! Thank you for your lovely words, and I'm so glad you got to check out the exhibition in real life! #HomelessnessReframed
1/4 This week @RachelRJS visited the #HomelessnessReframed exhibition at the Saatchi Art in support of David John Tovey whose work is featured there. The exhibition showcases moving pieces with some reflecting on the connection between homelessness and personal belongings:
Rachel Seggie Saatchi Art David John Tovey 2/4 Simone Brewster for one highlights the tough choices people are forced to make. Do I pay to store my cherished belongings or give them up along with the memories and significance they hold?
Rachel Seggie Saatchi Art David John Tovey Simone Brewster 3/4 And Alexandria Julouis who highlights the impact of sofa surfing. Through her work she explores how belongings can become tied to a person's identity when it feels as though so much else of them has been lost.
Rachel Seggie Saatchi Art David John Tovey Simone Brewster 4/4 The work of all 3 really powerfully shines a light on why we do what we do here at Street Storage If you have the chance, be sure to check out this exhibition!

Don’t want to beat the gender drum but if a nation of men were stripped of their basic human rights I’m pretty sure there’d be a louder chorus of disapproval. We can’t abandon Afghan women. No talking in the street: how the Taliban silenced women like me thetimes.com/article/85c5b3…
