MoH Deep Dive: Social Responses to Stigma
Deep Dive is a current affairs programme about homelessness hosted by Museum of Homelessness directors Matt and Jess. Featuring commentators, incisive analysis, and some honest talk, this monthly show will unpack what’s going on beyond tabloid sensationalism and stereotyping.
About the next episode - Social Responses to Stigma
5 years ago a Danish artist called Christian Hornsleth fitted tracker apps to people sleeping rough and launched a city-wide art project tracking their movements. Was it a prank? A pointed commentary on our morals and ethics? Or was it simply insensitive. It was difficult to tell in swirl of social media outrage that followed.
Whether it’s art projects or survivalists like Ed Stafford trying his hand at a bit of rough sleeping, the idea of translating the experiences of homelessness is difficult because of the judgements that society brings to those who are most marginalised.
This episode will reflect on how social biases and stigma shape how homelessness is understood. This will include a deep dive into the social neuroscience of how dehumanisation, the historical tradition of social poverty safari and up-to-date projects attempting to unpack stigma today. The episode will include special guests from both a lived experience and academic perspective.
