Third year Digital Photography students at London South Bank

Throughout the month of November the students will be

alongside instant portraits that will be used during the
event in an interactive display. Also exhibited will be
photographs that explore the spaces individuals inhabit and
leave behind when they have no place to call home. The
students will be out on the streets of London taking instant
portraits, and collecting donations, that will be exchanged
for an invitation to the exhibition where guests are then
encouraged to take home their portrait at the end of the
exhibition. The students invite you to come to this unique
street art space and show your support for the thousands of
people sleeping rough in London each year. The event will
support The Bermondsey Project in Willow Walk SE1.
