Join in a national conversation on homelessness

As part of our State of the Nation weekender, join us for a series of talks by artists, journalists, politicians and others with experience of homelessness.

State of the Nation comes at a time where all forms of homelessness are on the rise. Through this set of conversations we will ask; can art and creativity make a difference? What have we learnt from the past? What kind of society to we want to live in tomorrow?

All talks are bookable on the day within Tate Exchange.

Speakers include:

  • Host: Chardine Taylor-Stone, Artist and Activist
  • Focus E-15, Housing Activist Group
  • David Tovey, Artist 

  • Lorraine McGrath, Chief Executive, Simon Scotland
 
  • James Murray, Deputy Mayor, Greater London Authority
  • Matt Peacock, Director, With One Voice
  • Antonia Watson, Chief Executive, The Wallich 
  • Rick Henderson, Chief Executive, Homeless Link  

  • Councillor Beth Knowles, Politician and Social Justice campaigner
  • Gerald Mclaverty and Anthony Luvera 

This event is programmed by the Museum of Homelessness, a Tate Exchange Associate.
