Through the lens co-curation, the project is the outcome of the work of Alexandra Perry, Elizabeth Lydiate, Frankie Vale, Katherine Baker, Mary Geraghty, Penny Wright, and Sarah Browne and explores their lived experiences of breast cancer surgery and how it is represented to the wider world.

The exhibition includes artworks produced by the co-curators highlighting their personal stories through mixed-media artistic creations including body casting, painting, creative writing and others.
