The Tanks Arts Centre launched a new exhibition this week by artists who were homeless.
The exhibition, Our Journeys – Homeless to Housing, displays the work of artists with a lived experience of being homeless and tells their stories.
The Cairns Homelessness Awareness Raising Event (CHARE) is an annual event.
The media plays a role in shaping people’s views of social issues and homelessness is often portrayed negatively.
Homelessness week hopes to change that.
The exhibition runs until August 18.
