Home Is Where My Heart is a unique photographic exhibition held as part of National Homeless Persons Week through a collaboration between the Youth Affairs Council of Western Australia (YACWA) and Propel Youth Arts WA.

Details for the 2012 Home is Where My Heart is Event is COMING SOON

Now in its fifth year, the exhibition is the culmination of a project that partners young emerging photographers with young homeless people, who are asked to take a photo that captures their interpretation of home.

It is the simple act of sharing knowledge and skills that makes this exhibition so powerful. Each large-scale print will be taken by the young homeless person; the emerging photographer is simply involved in enabling the young person to understand light, aperture and composition and how these creative elements affect the way we read an image.

Profit from the sale of prints goes directly back to the services that support these young homeless people. In 2011 we raised over $9000 for these services.
