An ex-army tent emblazoned with works of art by homeless people will go on display this week.
The exhibition, titled Loitering Within Tent, features writing, photography, painting, film, and sculpture created by rough sleepers or ex-homeless people who are improving their lives with help from The Big Issue.
The tent symbolises the insecurity homeless people face and the transient nature of their lives.
The exhibition will appear in several locations around Brighton and Hove, including the seafront, Pavilion Gardens, and St Patrick's Church in Cambridge Road, until October.
The display forms part of The Place To Be's community exhibitions programme, helping people stage exhibitions on topics of their choice.
Simon Fanshawe, chairman of The Place To Be campaign, said: "By supporting an arts project like this we can get a glimpse of homeless peoples' lives and concerns. Once we have a better understanding of these vulnerable people in our community we can begin to plan solutions to the problems of homelessness and insecure housing."
The exhibition opens at the Pavilion Gardens tomorrow, before moving to Brighton Seafront on August 29, Hove Museum on August 30, Pavilion Gardens on September 1, St Patrick's Church on September 4, and Hove Town Hall from October 2 to 14.
