When we think of home it’s a deeply private space, a refuge and a sanctuary from the outside world. A place to call our own.
While our homes are deeply personal, housing is a public matter. There is a collective responsibility to make sure people have a home.
So what happens when the public and private meet?
Guled Eylas is an architecturally trained multi-disciplinary artist, who is interested in the connections people make with the built environment and the idea of home. Growing up in one of Melbourne’s high rise public housing estates, Guled has been fascinated by the contrasts within these spaces and the contrasts in perceptions around public housing from those who live there and those who don’t.
His latest exhibition, Personal But Not Private, seeks to spark conversations and understanding around the multifaceted relationship between public housing and home.
Personal But Not Private is presented by NH Architecture + Guled Elyas. It will be on display from 18
