Invisible Hands – art center visit

For one of our photography trips we visited the Jersey Arts Center to take a look at the exhibition taking place showing the lives of migrant farmers in Jersey.

Invisible hands is an art exhibition which is a project between Alicja Rogalska and the Morning Boat to portray the lives of migrant workers in Jersey. This exhibition was created to bring light to these workers and the poor conditions they are forced to deal with despite all the hard work they put into their daily lives. These people and their work have been a huge part of the Island’s agriculture for over 150 years, yet this is still failed to be mentioned as much as it should.
