Revisiting the Living Without Doorknobs Project

The Takeaway

In September, artist and graphic designer Megan Flood came on The Takeaway to discuss her senior project at the University of Michigan. Through audio and photographs, Living Without Doorknobs documents life in an Ann Arbor, Michigan homeless tent community called Camp Take Notice. One of the homeless men living in Camp Take Notice, Joe Gill, was a major focus of Flood’s work, and his photographs of the tent community became an integral part of her project. Flood and Gill discuss their project, and how their lives have changed since they first met.
