Meeting artists and sharing stories
Prince William was seen with a beard at his first engagement after the summer break at the Saatchi Gallery. The exhibition 'Homelessness: Reframed' showcases the stories of rough sleepers, coinciding with William's Homewards scheme. The Prince will meet artists who contributed to the exhibition and individuals with lived experiences that inspired the artwork.
Collaborative effort
The exhibition, a collaboration between Homewards, Saatchi Gallery, and Eleven Eleven Foundation, features works by artists from the UK and beyond, providing a platform for those affected by homelessness to share their narratives.
Exploring the exhibition
The exhibition is divided into three sections, including 'Invisible Words' displaying signs created by people experiencing homelessness globally. In 'Reframed', newly commissioned pieces by artists reflecting on homelessness are showcased. The final section, 'Open Doors', features doors crafted by children and young people from six Homewards locations.
Recent events and royal dynamics
Prince William's visit to the exhibition follows his attendance at a memorial for his uncle Lord Fellowes in Norfolk. Despite being in the same space, William and Harry have not communicated for months, maintaining distance even at events like the memorial.
