The Big Issue in the North

“The aim of the vendor art project is to bring positive public attention to vendors by illustrating that homeless people have opinions and views like you or I

Vendors were asked what they liked about The Big Issue in the North magazine, we took their photograph and layered lots of magazine clippings around them reflecting their comments therefore demonstrating a personal connection between the person selling the magazine and the product.

Created in the sales area of the Manchester office, vendors were able to contribute 2 minutes in between buying magazines and some became so engrossed in the cutting and sticking stayed for longer.”
