Housing as a human right: artist and advocate Dieneke Jansen

We’re in a housing crisis, most people agree. With strong awareness of the inequalities that it brings.  Yet, when it comes to talking about solutions to something so complex yet so personal, people struggle - reaching for phrases like ‘this housing thing’.  This Housing Thing is the title of a moving image work by artist Dieneke Jansen, who has long dedicated her art and activism to housing. It’s currently screening at galleries The Physics Room in Ōtautahi Christchurch and Enjoy in Pōneke Wellington until the end of August.
