WE ARE ALL HOMELESS comes to Durango!


The WE ARE ALL HOMELESS Impact Campaign is pleased to take our project to Durango, Colorado this August.  Please join us at a series of FREE events as we help the community  start a conversation about homelessness.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9 - LABOR DAY WEEKEND
PUBLIC ART EXHIBIT
DURANGO TRANSIT CENTER
A public art exhibit of homeless signs will be on display daily during business hours. Artist Willie Baronet has bought and collected over 1400 signs from people on the streets for the past 24 years, and uses them to create art installations to raise awareness, compassion and start conversations about the many causes of homelessness.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 8, 6PM - 7PM
ARTIST RECEPTION
DURANGO TRANSIT CENTER
Meet the artist and learn more about his journey to collect signs for this project, and stories from the documentary, Signs of Humanity.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 3PM - 5PM, 630PM-830PM
SIGNS OF HUMANITY, DOCUMENTARY FILM SCREENING
Signs of Humanity is a documentary film that explores the inter-related themes of home, homelessness, compassion and humanity. During the month of July, 2014, Willie and three filmmakers drove across the country, interviewing more than 100 people on the streets and purchasing over 280 signs. Signs of Humanity is a film about that trip.

Filmmaker Willie Baronet will be present at both screenings for a Q&A following the film.

The event is free, but general admission reservations are required.
