Goska Calik
Arriving in London Goska became homeless when she lost her job due to illness. After sofa-surfing for several months she was finally directed to Crisis where she was helped to find a place to live. Goska was taught photography by her father in Poland. She also went to Cardboard Citizens, a homelessness support organisation where she participates in photography as well as dance, forum theatre and creative writing. She is now employed again and keeps in touch with the RPS photography mentoring group.
