MIF17

Our first installation took place in July 2017 as part of MIF17. Over the course of a week Karl covered the walls of a disused city centre shoe shop – rebranded UNFEAR – with words and phrases drawn from the streets. The space was filled with a powerful soundtrack by Rick Smith, built on fragments of human voices recorded all over the city, and members of the MSP team were on hand to answer questions about their personal experiences of homelessness and signpost people to help and support. The installation attracted 3,527 visitors; 277,262 listeners as part of a BBC 6 Music broadcast and 3,480,000 viewers when featured on BBC Breakfast.
