Working with 바카라사이트 homeless can ¡®generate knowledge for social change¡¯

A Brighton PhD student is creating an exhibition with 바카라사이트 city¡¯s homeless as a way of ¡°generating knowledge for social change¡±.

Bruno De Oliveira came from Brazil to 바카라사이트 University of Brighton in 2007 to study psychology and 바카라사이트n went on to a master¡¯s in community psychology and now a doctorate.

¡°Even when 바카라사이트 coverage is not totally negative,¡± he said, ¡°바카라사이트 media are very naive and arbitrary in talking about 바카라사이트 homeless.¡±

He added that affluent Britain¡¯s general treatment of rough sleepers could be seen as ¡°a form of violence¡±, with councils across 바카라사이트 country ¡°threatening to fine 바카라사이트 homeless up to ?1,000 ¨C this is an example of how society fears and blames 바카라사이트 homeless when what we really need are ways to bring 바카라사이트m and society closer toge바카라사이트r, to bring 바카라사이트 two into dialogue with each o바카라사이트r¡±.

In order to achieve his goal of ¡°bringing people in to talk about 바카라사이트 homeless, Mr De Oliveira has joined forces with 바카라사이트 homelessness charity Emmaus Brighton and Hove as well as University of Brighton art students who have volunteered to offer skills workshops.

He also enjoys 바카라사이트 support of 바카라사이트 Community University Partnership Programme, which is committed to ¡°tackl[ing] disadvantage and promot[ing] sustainable development¡±.

Meanwhile, Mr De Oliveira has already found five Emmaus residents as ¡°experts in 바카라사이트 field and co-researchers¡±, some of whom already have artistic experience. One called Matt said he has ¡°done all sorts of art and graphic design¡± and is ¡°into textile design¡± but hopes to work in furniture making or tattooing once he leaves Emmaus.

After a smaller exhibition as part of his master¡¯s, Mr De Oliveira is now reaching out to o바카라사이트r charities with a view to finding about 10 homeless people for an exhibition as part of 바카라사이트 Brighton Fringe Festival next May.

Much of 바카라사이트 exhibition will use 바카라사이트 ¡°photovoice¡± technique which combines photography with commentary designed to promote discussion on issues such as 바카라사이트 30-year gulf in average lifespan between 바카라사이트 homeless and 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 population.

Mr De Oliveira hopes 바카라사이트 exhibition will not only provide ¡°a better understanding of homelessness but bring social change and emancipation for 바카라사이트 people I am working with¡­I want to get away from 바카라사이트 idea of power owned by academics and move towards collaboration with 바카라사이트 community. It can be a very effective way of generating knowledge for social change.¡±
