DETAILS::
Grad Project at the Emily Carr University, Vancouver

YEAR::

DESCRIPTION::
A street paper is a publication produced by a non-profit organization and sold on the streets by homeless and low-income vendors. Having observed the work of the high quality Oslo-based street paper =Oslo, since their beginning in 2005 and finding myself in Vancouver, a city with a quickly growing poor and homeless population, and a Downtown Eastside known as the poorest area-code in Canada, I identified a need for a street paper in Vancouver that would function as a voice for the most marginalized part of the city's population.

Facet became my thesis project at the Emily Carr University and contains a variety of content from interviews with Downtown Eastside residents and work by artists in the area to short stories, news and other issues relevant to the community. It was exhibited at the Emily Carr Grad Show 2007.
