Stories of Home II

Book Signing and Talk with Janette Marsh, the main subject of ‘Stories of Home’, a curatorial project with Andrew Borg Wirth and Marija Grech.

Janette Marsh was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in late 2020. ‘Stories of Home’ is a curatorial project led by Andrew Borg Wirth and Marija Grech that follows Janette’s journey since diagnosis. The project has developed as a photo essay that investigates the vulnerability of the subject, changing values of familiarity and the idea of ‘home’. It operates as a visual, experimental and collaborative art statement that condenses the time spent in conversation between Andrew, Marija and Janette. It is a personal, political and confessional work that Janette hopes to use in order to generate more conversation around ovarian cancer.

‘Stories of Home’ is a 132-page book being released in March 2022. All proceeds from the sales of the book are being forwarded to the Malta Community Chest Fund.
