Made by Us
Made By Us explores the material experience of homelessness. Individuals who experience homelessness lose a place to call home and a stake in society and this can frequently lead to a losing a sense of personal identity. This sense of identity is often expressed and reinforced through our material belongings.
By offering her services as a designer to individuals who have had experience of homelessness, Rachel has worked one-to-one with participants to create unique objects with, and for them. The design process itself has helped create a greater sense of empathy between designer and individual. The final objects therefore not only express the individuals’ personalities but also illustrate the unique story of their exchange.
