Marc Davenant - Outsiders

Street Level Photoworks is pleased to present Marc Davenant’s Outsidersexhibition, a striking photography project that amplifies the voices of people experiencing homelessness.

Davenant is an award-winning documentary photographer who works with marginalised communities to highlight social inequality. He was one of the winners of the Portrait of Britain competition in both 2020 and 2021 with images from his ongoing series Rebellion! documenting civil disobedience and climate change activism.

Outsiders is a documentary photography project which aimed to capture a snapshot of homelessness in modern Britain and has become a searing indictment of the policy of successive governments on street homelessness, substandard housing conditions and the individual impact of the hostile environment.

This six-year project has captured images and testimony from people across the full spectrum of homelessness, from those who are sleeping rough, through sofa surfers to those who are living in temporary accommodation which is unfit for human habitation. The exhibition has been on tour across the UK since 2023 and was shown inside the Houses of Parliament in January 2024.
