Abstract / Summary

Artefact – Photographs of the workshop, part of a series of events for the 'Why Mums Don't Jump: Our Stories, Our Health' exhibition for Being Human 2024. The exhibition and this workshop invited the wider community together to share stories on a subject that affects 1 in 3 women (Kaiser Permanente Division of Research 2008), but no-one ever talks about (Anon 2022): pelvic floor problems like incontinence, prolapse and pelvic pain. Inspired by the stigma-smashing podcast Why Mums Don’t Jump, animation students at Falmouth University created a landmark animated film that depicts - for the first time - the lived experience of pelvic organ prolapse after childbirth. The film uses animation to bring these personal stories to life, depicting their isolation but also their ideas for a joyful future they’d like to create; a feminist ambition to move from suffering to celebration (Teichart 2023). The workshop builds on this momentum with the ambition to help more people realise that this is a public conversation it is possible to have and that it can be fun (Ledwick cited in Mulraney 2022). The workshop took place on the last day of the exhibition on Saturday 16th Nov 2024.
