In public discourse, we often encounter the same images when discussing homelessness and housing insecurity. With the artistic perspectives of photographer Debora Ruppert and graphic novel author Sebastian L\u00f6rscher, as well as the viewpoint of city guide and former homeless person Dieter Bichler, this event at BERLIN GLOBAL will focus on alternative images and how the topic can be represented appropriately and with dignity.<\/p>\n

Poverty, homelessness, and housing insecurity are pervasive in Berlin. Nevertheless, affected individuals are often (deliberately) overlooked and marginalised. This is partly because the prevalent societal image of homelessness is frequently shaped by stereotypes: alcohol, violence, and dirt characterise this clich\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Who are the people sleeping in emergency shelters or train stations?<\/p>\n

How can artistic views on homelessness be achieved without adopting a voyeuristic perspective? How can an image tell the story of the person portrayed?<\/p>\n

Photographer Debora Ruppert has been depicting homeless and housing-insecure people on the streets of Berlin for many years. Illustrator and author Sebastian L\u00f6rscher uses the medium of illustrated reportage to tell the stories of Berlin’s homeless.<\/p>\n

As part of the accompanying programme for the “Here and Now. Women\u207a Experiencing Homelessness in Berlin” project, we will address these questions.<\/p>\n

We warmly invite you to the presentation of selected works by Debora Ruppert and Sebastian L\u00f6rscher.<\/p>\n

Together with Dieter Bichler, city guide for the association\u00a0querstadtein e.V<\/em>. and a former homeless person himself, we will explore the possibilities of depicting homelessness and poverty and discuss his perspective as someone who has been affected.<\/p>\n

The event is part of the accompanying programme for the Open Space project “Here and Now. Women\u207a Experiencing Homelessness in Berlin<\/a>“.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
