Description
The Front Door Photography Exhibition is part of the Disability and the Home project exploring the idea of the home in relation to the lived experience of disabled people.
The Front Door, if the eyes are the window to the soul, are the gateway to listening to the lived lives of others.
In showing disabled people at their Front Door, exploring the importance of having ones own home to be a valued part of society, the project reveals how the image itself is open to varied interpretations. Charities use Black and White imagery to define their subjects as ‘less’. Marginalisation is achieved by linking ideas of class, wealth, location and ‘otherness’.
The project is entirely from the perspective of disabled people themselves.
In addition to this exhibition, there is a film that reveals, in-depth, the experiences of disabled people who went to the Special School detailed in the 1971 publication The Empty Hours.
