JENGA, SHELTER

"Jenga" is a film-poem highlighting the impact of homelessness and inadequate housing on mental health, collaboratively written by nine participants with lived experience of homelessness. Following the Renga poetic form, each line builds upon the last, ensuring that no single word exists in isolation from the collective contribution of the participants. This piece was developed as part of Shelter's rebrand and Fight for Home Campaign.
