Some of the statues.
Welcome HomeLess has arrived in Dublin. It is an exhibition of sculputures of homeless people, which has toured around Europe and arrives here thanks to Focus Ireland playing a partner-role in the project.
I spotted two today while in the city. One is outside the Bull and Castle pub, and another next to City Hall. There are thirteen sculptures int he Welcome Homeless touring exhibition. Keep an eye out for them.
Welcome HomeLess is a different and vivid way of letting the citizens of Europe know just how the people without homes are living. The art exhibition is named Welcome HomeLess, because 13 sculptures portraying homeless people will tour through and be welcomed in the European countries, just like many European homeless cross borders every day in search of happiness.

Come Here To Me! 
Just before Glastonbury a group of homeless people protested outside the Clarence.
This is a great idea. I haven’t spotted any yet. Will keep an eye out in town tomorrow for them. I wonder are there any sculptures of homeless people in Ireland?
Yes Kate, they are mostly in doorways or sitting beneath ATMs… Abbey Street has a few performance pieces generally…
Is it just me or does this somewhat echo the “Derelicte” from Zoolander? I saw one on friday with a group around it showing more interest in it than to the 2 human beings that were across the road at the atm. But maybe thats the point but it makes me uncomfortable….
I saw two on Talbot Street. I nearly tripped over one and then I saw a chap nearly trip over the next one. Maybe that’s the desired effect!
