ArtHouse Project launches week-long exhibition focusing on loss and grief

Single Homeless Project’s In-House Creative Arts Programme, ArtHouse, launches the ‘Remembrance in Relief’ week-long exhibit at Greenwich University!

The ‘Remembrance in Relief’ collection features ceramic plaques created by our clients, celebrating their lives or someone they admire. Dying Matters funds it as part of their Community Grants programme. The concept is inspired by the English blue heritage plaques.

Over the past year, more than 20 participants—all Single Homeless Project clients and staff—have worked together with potters and psychologists to encourage conversations about grief and death.

Ruby Wroe, Senior Communications and Engagement Officer at Hospice UK, said, “Our Dying Matters campaign is about creating a more open culture towards death, dying, and grief.

“Single Homeless Project’s plaques are a brilliant example of how art and creativity can open up conversations. Art enables people who may not have access to grief support services to reflect, talk and share their experiences.”

“We’re encouraging as many people as possible to visit this exhibition and celebrate the stories within to help us break the stigma of talking about death, dying and bereavement.”

Alongside the ceramics collection, this exhibition will also feature Arthouse participants’ recent work on a range of visual art courses. This includes original prints, films, and paintings, highlighting the diverse offers of our in-house creative arts programme.

Arthouse works with over 200 people a year across Single Homeless Project’s adult and young people’s services. The programme offers opportunities to engage in arts courses, explore creative training, and work with organisations to showcase participants’ work.
