The Exhibit

In 2006 I Love a Parade artists embarked upon the most exciting and the most difficult art adventure in our history. They created a traveling exhibit called The Dolls: Women who have experienced homeless telling their stories through art. Each women was amazingly willing to unwrap her life to show her story. All of the painful memories and feelings of uncertainty were transposed into joy, excitement and pride as each woman created her own doll. Every piece offers a distinctive message about a unique individual and her life's journey. Now, this remarkable art exhibit has been made into an equally remarkable book that cuts through myths, stereotypes and media images of homeless people.

The best way to understand the reality of the lives of those who are homeless is to get to know them. The second best way is to see this exhibit and read this book.
