“The wound is the place where the light enters you.” — Rumi
Where the Light Enters is the outcome of a series of workshops held with residents of St Mungo’s and Saatchi Gallery Learning. This exhibition showcases the artwork created by participants in response to various prompts and themes. Art is a powerful tool for expression, but it is also an invitation to listen. Through listening, we gain a deeper understanding, and through understanding, we can change the world around us.
The artists in this exhibition have navigated numerous challenges, yet the works presented here reflect shared human experiences. Whether through painting, poetry, or sculpture, each piece represents a moment of personal reflection and expression. Together, these works speak to universal themes of resilience, healing, and connection.
About St Mungo’s
St Mungo’s works directly with people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, helping them build paths away from homelessness for good. Their services are tailored to meet clients wherever they are in their journey—whether through rough sleeping support, emergency accommodation, assistance in finding long-term housing, or providing skills and training to help individuals secure meaningful employment.
Last Year alone, St Mungo’s supported more than 28,000 people across 160 services, offering practical aid and creating opportunities for stability and independence.
In addition to direct support, St Mungo’s is dedicated to influencing systemic change. By amplifying the voices of their clients and applying their operational expertise, they work to influence policymakers and address the root causes of homelessness. This exhibition stands as a testament to their belief in the power of creativity, advocacy, and the human spirit to inspire transformation.
