TOPIC What the mapping of Byron Shire’s informal settlements teach us about having a home without having a house.
DETAILS Two year program (full time). Over a period of 6 months I would go out into the nature reserves, which house a large portion of Byron Shire’s homeless population and meet the people who live there. With their permission I would make floor plans of their camps and from these I would discuss what It means to belong.
