Imagine your story told through all the worst moments in your life.

Cardboard Citizens join Professor Nick Crowson from the University of Birmingham to become “genealogical detectives” – rooting through newspaper reports and police records to discover the stories of those criminalised for being homeless.
Drawing on historic documents, imagined lives, and personal experience of the struggle for a place to call home, Cardboard Citizens introduce you to the people wandering through history.
