The exhibition Visual Voices: Reflective Visual Representations Advocating for the Right to a Home, Inclusion and Participation in the Community will be on display at Waterford City Library, Lady Lane, from Friday 2nd August to Thursday 14th August.
This is the first in a series of travelling exhibitions forming part of a longitudinal study exploring the lived experiences of people housed through the START (Support for Tenancy and Recovery Targets) programme — a partnership between South East HSE Mental Health Services, Local Authorities, and Approved Housing Bodies.
Many people who experience mental health difficulties also face significant barriers in accessing secure, appropriate housing. The START programme addresses these challenges by providing secure tenancies and personalised, recovery-focused support. This approach enables individuals to live independently, build and maintain a home, and participate fully in their communities.
Through a series of photographs and personal captions, participants reflect on their journeys of recovery, inclusion, creating a home, and community life, offering powerful insights into their lived experiences.
The exhibition launch was well attended, and people were enthralled by the individuality of the pieces and the intimacy of the experiences displayed.
