SUMMARY:“What is Home?” A paired exhibition by Willie Baronet and Leah den Bok
DESCRIPTION:What Is Home? brings together two powerful bodies of work that challenge viewers to reconsider their assumptions about housing\, belonging\, and the human stories behind homelessness. Through mixed-media installations and intimate portraiture\, artists Willie Baronet and Leah den Bok invite us to think more deeply about the true meaning of home. \nWE ARE ALL HOMELESS — Willie Baronet \nFor more than three decades\, artist and professor Willie Baronet has traveled across cities collecting signs purchased from people experiencing homelessness. What began as an attempt to navigate his own discomfort at intersections evolved into a deep\, ongoing exploration of empathy\, identity\, and shared humanity. \nBaronet’s installation uses these handwritten signs—each a fragment of someone’s story—to form a larger narrative about visibility and vulnerability. Every sign becomes both an artifact and a mirror: a reminder of the person who wrote it\, and of the ways we see or fail to see one another in public space. Through his collection\, Baronet asks us to reflect on the discomfort\, guilt\, generosity\, or avoidance that shape how we respond to those asking for help. \nHUMANIZING THE HOMELESS — Leah den Bok \nAt fifteen years old\, Canadian photographer Leah den Bok began traveling the world to document the faces and stories of people experiencing homelessness. Her portraits—honest\, unadorned\, and profoundly humane—invite viewers into direct eye contact with individuals too often overlooked. \nEach photograph is paired with a personal story\, many shared during moments of vulnerability and trust. Through these narratives\, themes emerge: trauma\, resilience\, mental illness\, addiction\, grief\, but also humor\, gratitude\, and hope. Den Bok’s work confronts the quiet epidemic of indifference that surrounds homelessness\, echoing the sentiment that the deepest form of suffering is the feeling of being unwanted or unseen. \nThe Regitz Gallery\, located on the mezzanine level at the Ware Center. Gallery exhibits may be viewed Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The gallery offers extended hours during public shows or events. Please call the front desk at 717-871-7018 to confirm hours.
