Stories from the Waiting List

During January, February and March 2007, Anglicare talked to 25 households on the public housing waiting list, in categories 1 through to 4, about their experiences. We took photographs of their surroundings. These stories and photographs became an exhibition called ‘Stories from the waiting list’, which debuted at the Sidespace Gallery, Salamanca Arts Centre, on 27 June 2007. ‘Stories from the waiting list’ will be touring the state, but in the meantime, these web pages will give you an idea of the exhibition and the stories that informed it.
