A free exhibition invites women to share their experiences of becoming and being a mother.
Mum of two, Jess Coleman is running an exhibition at Link Gallery at Jersey Museum.
The exhibition, ‘Welcome to Motherhood’, invites mums in Jersey to share their experience of becoming a mother through anonymous photos and written prompts.
Visitors can grab a pen, a post-it, a sticker, and share their advice, opinions, feelings, experiences and journeys of motherhood.
Jess says the exhibition will not be made into something permanent:
"I'm asking people to share such raw images, raw feelings, very personal moments, that after the exhibition is done, it's done.
"I want them to know that after this, your image is safe, nothing happens, you just lent it to me for this time; it's still yours.
"The idea is that you can go to the exhibition as a new mum and stand there and read the boards and notes from other women in our community and think. 'someone else gets it, that's what I feel, that's what happened to me.
"The idea is that it's interactive, it's a space filled with prompts and questions."
It is free, and open from 10 am to 4 pm daily until 26 March.
