"When looking at the issue of poverty, it is easy to dehumanize the voices of those walking that very experience. But as we see in 'StreetsmARTs,' they have the best insights into solutions."
Kelly McRell
For more than a year, participants who have experienced homelessness met weekly to tell their stories and to create this authentic look at life on the streets, told by those who have lived it.
The resulting performance combines live theatre and documentary video, as well as still photography by the participants.
