beyond the frame
How poverty is pictured in art and film, and who stays outside the frame.
Statistics are one way of seeing poverty; images are another. This is where I look at how poverty is represented in art, film and visual culture: not to romanticise it, but to ask who has a voice and what stays outside the frame.
01
Poverty in art
How painting, photography and other art forms have pictured poverty, and what they chose to show.
02
Poverty on screen
Films and documentaries about inequality and precarity, and the stories they tell.
03
The things we don't see
Who appears, who is left out, and which narratives get built along the way.
04
Art, dignity and recognition
Images of dignity, stigma and recognition, and what they ask of the viewer.
Pieces
The first pieces are on their way.
