We’re not here to sugar coat things  or with eyes closed to things that make most people look away. At 3rd Eye Street Media, we’re giving a platform to the voices that get drowned out—the ones living on the streets, surviving the broken system, and fighting to be seen. This is where real stories get told: messy, raw, and full of the kind of truth that makes people uncomfortable.

We’re about breaking down the walls between “us” and “them.” The art, stories, and perspectives you’ll find here come straight from Ottawa’s street community or people directly involved in it. It’s not filtered, polished, or designed to make anyone feel better about themselves or the issues at hand—it’s real.

Whether you’ve lived it or you’re just starting to wake up to it, this space is for anyone who cares about what’s happening out there, in the alleys, shelters, and shadows most people ignore.

What We’re Bringing to the Table:

Stories that Matter:  Honest, unapologetic account of life on the margins, told by the people actually living it.

Art with Teeth: Creative works that cut through the noise and force people to see things differently.

A Call to Action: We’re not just here to talk—we’re here to change the story.

If you’re tired of the same old excuses and you’re ready to face the hard truths, you’re in the right place.

Have something to say? A story to share? We want to hear it.

Because seeing clearly is the first step towards ending poverty.
