Inspired originally by Dave Kotula’s photographs of squatted premises in St Albans in the 1980’s, Squatlife highlighted historical and contemporary responses to homelessness, giving insight into this previously under-researched aspect of local history.
In conjunction with this exhibition, Cardboard Citizens worked with homeless or recently homeless residents from the district to create a piece to be performed at the Abbey Theatre, whilst a professional photographer worked with attenders of Herts Young Homeless to capture snapshots of their lives.
