Description

Human Like You: Confronting the Homeless Crisis is on view January 20 - March 4, 2022 and is open to the public during regular library hours Glendale Library, Arts & Culture and ReflectSpace Gallery are proud to present Human Like You/Confronting the Homeless Crisis an exhibition that sheds light on the ever-burgeoning homeless epidemic. Los Angeles County is home to a staggering 64,000 unhoused people and this number is growing. Through image and personal testimony, Human Like You tells compelling stories of how people from all walks of life became unhoused and how they are coping. Photographer Jeffrey A. Wolin and artist Stuart Perlman, Ph.D., portray journeys of these individuals that are harrowing, extraordinary, and tragic, providing a glimpse into the lives of those afflicted by job loss, mental illness, substance abuse, tragedy, and domestic violence. They implore the viewer to empathize and consider solutions to this crisis. ReflectSpace confronts the crisis by showcasing the work of two artists with extensive careers working with individuals dealing with trauma. Unable to ignore the ubiquitous presence of people living on the streets, photographer Jeffrey A. Wolin with his camera and artist Stuart Perlman, Ph.D., with his paintbrush, create portraits and images of people experiencing homelessness in their environment. The exhibition includes resources for individuals seeking services in Glendale and Los Angeles County.
