On Sunday, the Prince of Wales announced both a Saatchi Gallery exhibition and an ITV docuseries highlighting his —a royal initiative dedicated to ending homelessness.
The two-part ITV television series, aptly titled Prince William: We Can End Homelessness, will air on both ITV1 and ITVX this fall. Episodes will follow Prince William “as he launches Homewards across the U.K., capturing the stories of individuals currently facing homelessness and those with lived experience,” shared a press release.
The series will only cover the first year of the prince’s five-year initiative, with a focus on the locations where Prince William, as well as other advocates and project leaders, aim to combat homelessness. Specifically, episodes will center on stories in Aberdeen, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, Lambeth, Newport, Northern Ireland, and Sheffield.
Meanwhile, Saatchi Gallery—in collaboration with the Homewards programme and the Eleven Eleven Foundation—will soon host Homelessness: Reframed, an art exhibition that explores the “breadth and complexities of homelessness across the country,” per a press release. The display will give the public an opportunity to engage with, and better understand, the stories of those with experience of homelessness.
The exhibition will display exceptional works from artists in the U.K. and beyond, sharing pieces both inspired by their own and observed experiences of homelessness. The gallery will also include pieces created by children and young adults at a series of creative workshops held across the six flagship Homewards locations. Homelessness: Reframed will open at Saatchi Gallery on August 7 and run until September 20.
“People need to believe in change for it to happen. Homelessness can feel like it is hard to prevent, but by building an understanding of the realities of how it impacts so many, we can learn what needs to be done to end it,” said Amanda Berry (OBE), CEO of The Royal Foundation, in a press release. “The exhibition underlines Homewards and The Royal Foundation’s dedication to challenging the long-held perceptions around homelessness. By giving a platform to those with lived experience, we hope to start to shift the narrative and demonstrate that homelessness is not an inevitable part of society.”
