I SLEEP ON THE STREETS

“Duermo en las calles” | Laia de Ahumada & Cinta Fosh | Akiara, Spain | 80 pages | 16.5 x 23.5 cm

With this book, we want to explain what living on the streets is like, and what could bring a person to live there. We want to show the backgrounds of violence, abandonment, loneliness; the loss of self-esteem, dignity and hope suffered by the people who live on the streets. And we also want to ascertain whether it’s possible to get off the streets, how to do it and why it’s so difficult. Two women and four men who don’t have decent housing tell us what their lives were like before; why and how they lost the house where they lived and what their current lives on the streets are like. These are stories full of pain and injustice, but also full of solidarity and forgiveness. The testimonies that we present invite us to change our perspective, shatter prejudices and rethink how we relate to people who have lost everything.
