No Place Like Home features the work of local and internationally acclaimed artists and invites Islanders to consider their ‘home’ on a personal, national, global and even cosmic scale.

The exhibition features 23 gallery based artworks and three external installation pieces, all of which explore ‘home’ from different perspectives, including considerations around Jersey’s housing crisis and international perspectives on the health of our planet. Whilst we live in a time when this can be a complex and serious subject, the pieces on display are often playful and interactive and invite the viewer to reflect on their own interpretation and experience.

STORY: What is your story?
Describe in:

3 words – experience St. Malo

A sentence – creating my experience of St. Malo in the form of a zine.

A paragraph – My zine will be focusing on the people of St. Malo as they go about their everyday lives. I’m focusing my zine on this as I believe it is important to stop and look around at other people as well as the world around us. We often get so caught up in our own lives, jobs and problems that we fail to recognize that each person we come across, not matter how brief it is, will have unique and interesting life experiences that differ to our own. Somethings we may come across we are able to relate to, such as walking a dog, while other things will inspire us to try something new, such as pier jumping. Either way, noticing how other people act and live out their own lives often helps us to reflect on our own experiences.

NARRATIVE: How will you tell your story?

I will tell my experience of St. Malo through the use of photographs. They will be focusing on the people I come across that stuck out to me.

I will make my photos in a mix of black and white or colour, depending on which helps the photos features to stand out more. I will also lay out my zine in a way that makes my best images stand out the most to make it more eye catching for the viewer.

I will be making a zine about the St Malo trip that we went on the screen shots below are a showcase of my zine so far and my zine is about showing off the pictures I took in St Malo the writing in the photos are just filler text at the moment
