A series of portraits from across Australia, Home Truths provides a unique and thought-provoking perspective on Australia’s youth homelessness crisis. On any given night there are 116,000 homeless people across Australia, of which 43% are under the age of 24.

The exhibition hopes to start a conversation about the unique challenges posed for these young people, through their own voices. By providing the public viewer with rarely shown glimpses of experiences that may intersect with their lives, these photographs create a sense of shared humanity.

The body of work includes archival and contemporary images of families with young children, teenage couples and young men and women of all ages and ethnicities. It reminds us that the faces of youth homelessness are many and varied and can be just a few steps away for any one of us.  

Home Truths is brought to you by Youth Development Australia.
