As a class we took a trip to the Jersey Museum to take a look at their exhibition- “People, Power, Protest”, which looks at the history of protest on the island. One of the earliest subjects is The Jersey Corn Riots, a historic event where farmers on the island protested about food shortages and the increasing price of wheat. This event has paved the way for Jersey’s democratic journey, and recently had its 250th anniversary.

Other subjects were Apartheid, LGBTQ rights, and BLM, giving the exhibition a more contemporary view. Downstairs they also had an exhibit looking at the history of the island, with information on Neolithic times, Farming and Tourism. This allowed for a large range of imagery.
