A proud Gloo moment - this was our second year running winning the Creativity for Inclusion category at The Diemen Awards, for the Homelessness, Housing and Beyond installation.
Created in collaboration with CatholicCare Tasmania, Loreto Community Housing and St Joseph Affordable Homes, the installation responded to the way homelessness is often misunderstood or spoken about in abstract terms, making it harder to connect with the real experiences behind it.
Our approach was to keep it simple and easy to engage with. The work took shape as a walk-through installation inside a shipping container, guiding people through real stories, facts and pathways in a clear, considered sequence, allowing space to pause, reflect and take it in.
The creative needed to be accessible while still holding the weight of the subject. We carefully considered layout, typography and hierarchy to make the content easy to follow across different ages, backgrounds and levels of English, shifting the focus from statistics to lived experience.
Set at Mawson Place during Homelessness Week, the installation created a visible and welcoming space for people to stop, learn and reflect, helping make homelessness more understood and less abstract within the Hobart community.
Our team is very grateful to have been part of this project.
