Following a screening of Home and Dry, 1987, by the Leeds Animation Workshop, Peer exhibiting artist Ed Webb-Ingall and journalist Kieran Yates talk about the politics of housing, drawing on Webb-Ingall’s A Bedroom for Everyone exhibition and Kieran Yates’ book about the housing crisis All The Houses I’ve Lived In. Listen to their conversation below.

Home and Dry, 1987
'Four women discuss their housing situations. None of them would describe themselves as homeless - after all they've never slept out on the street. However, as they listen to each other's stories, they begin to understand that homelessness is something they've all experienced. The film analyses the inadequacies of housing policies and examines the political thinking that lies behind them.'
