About this event

Exhibition on women’s health inspired by the stigma-smashing podcast Why Mums Don’t Jump

This week-long exhibition brings the community together sharing stories on a subject that affects 1 in 3 women, but no-one ever talks about: 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 experience of pelvic organ prolapse after childbirth.

To celebrate this ground-breaking work the exhibition will showcase the behind the scenes and invites visitors to join in and move these private experiences of despair to shared public joy!
