Presented in partnership the Maternal Mental Health Alliance, the exhibition lays bare the hidden realities of pregnancy, motherhood and maternal mental health through portrait photography, still life and recorded testimony. The Maternal Mental Health Alliance (MMHA) is a UK-wide charity and collaborative network united one vision: excellent mental health care for all mothers and birthing people.
Running from 7 July to 1 August 2026 at Photofusion in Brixton, the exhibition features intimate portraits and still life photographs created by Carolyn Mendelsohn in collaboration with ten women who have experienced a range of perinatal mental illnesses. Visitors will also be able to hear participants tell their stories in their own words through linked audio interviews.
