Debt Trap Nation

Katherine Brickell (King's College London, UK) and Melanie Nowicki (Oxford Brookes University, UK)

Location: TBC.

Take an illustrated journey into the debt trap faced by tens of thousands of families made homeless by an economy working against them. Described by Grace Blakeley as making "an irrefutable case for change", the exhibition is based on the 2025 book Debt Trap Nation: Family Homelessness in a Failing State by Katherine Brickell and Mel Nowicki. It charts how government choices have created a debt trap that is consuming mothers, children and survivors of domestic abuse, and is now driving English local authorities to bankruptcy.
