“CAN’T LOOK AWAY,” a photographic essay of the homeless population in Long Beach, opens April 11th, 3-8PM, in conjunction with the DTLB Art + Design Walk. (The gallery will be opening at 3 pm, with Grand Opening Festivities commencing at 5 pm.)

Samson, a longtime resident of Long Beach, uses his camera to make a simple statement: These are people. Human beings who currently are without homes, but who have the same wants and needs as all of us.

Dan’s purpose is to remind all of us that we are more similar than we are different; that many of us are a few paychecks away from losing our own places of residence.

This exhibit is of every day life when one is unhoused and will allow visitors to actively help by purchasing a “homeless provisions bag,” packed with essentials for those who currently are forced to live on the street.

“Can’t look away” opens April 11 and will run through May 2. Loiter Galleries regular hours are Thursday – Saturday, 5-8 PM; and Sunday, 1-4 PM. Our location is 425 The Promenade North, Long Beach CA 90802.

Admission: Free (donations appreciated).
