Description

A book of ours is "an ancient manuscript for our time". It tells the inside story of contemporary homelessness, using the form of medieval manuscripts, especially the Book of Hours. By echoing an ancient medieval heritage, it gives a place for contemporary homeless heritage too-- a heritage that can be recognised as having value and beauty, as well as containing its darker side. The book has been scribed by over 150 people with experience of homelessness, or who are vulnerable to homelessness. In it they depict their lives through poetry and prose, artworks, calligraphy, songs and chants -- all inspired by studying the tradition of illuminated manuscripts. The Covid pandemic impacted on the project, but did not stop it. Emergency funding was obtained from the Heritage Lottery in autumn 2020 to run socially-distanced workshops, use activity packs, deliver one-to-one workshops by phone and to experiment with various Covid-safe techniques. -
