"Carver will be featured in Dear Portland, an exhibition about homelessness and systems impacting housing insecurity, opening on Feb. 7 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Stelo Arts in Portland. Viewers will see six short videos of participants who have faced housing challenges and hear their stories through headphones. Data-informed context will be displayed and some local service providers will be available to provide information along with opportunities to support them."
"The opening will include a block party outside, with free coffee and donuts and live music from classical pianist Dylan Ngyuen, acoustic guitarist Maggie Ray and the folk band Brother Husbands. Dear Portland is a call for communitywide empathy and action. Through this exhibition, the nonprofit group Humans for Housing continues its storytelling mission to humanize homelessness and raise concern about our unhoused neighbors. This follows the impact of its 2024 documentary No Place to Grow Old, about homelessness among people over 50."
Dear Portland is an exhibition about homelessness and systems impacting housing insecurity, running Feb. 7 to April 9 at Stelo Arts in Portland. The exhibition features six short videos, each five to seven minutes long, presenting participants who have faced housing challenges and sharing their stories through headphones. Data-informed context will be displayed alongside the videos and local service providers will be available to provide information and opportunities to support them. The opening on Feb. 7 includes a block party with free coffee, donuts, and live music. Humans for Housing produced the project following its documentary No Place to Grow Old. One participant, Bronwyn Carver, moved into a small Portland apartment after nine years of homelessness and tends strawberries and herbs she brought from the tent where she lived.
