For the month of July, we will be joined by Jade Carr-Daley, a social documentary and portrait photographer from Bristol. Carr-Daley will be talking about her practice and showing work from her project ‘Not Ready Not Steady GO!’, which will be followed by a conversation with Ilayda Akarca, Curator for Miniclick Bristol.
Jade Carr-Daley’s Jamaican-British heritage heavily influences her practice, as well as social issues affecting minority communities and Black Women. She studied BA Photography at Bath Spa University and completed her MA in Photography at the University of West England in 2022.
“Not Ready Not Steady GO! Is an ongoing documentation of my experience and transition into Motherhood. The images, individually and collectively show my transition from being cared for to becoming the carer – my final days of adolescence and irresponsibility. They show me open and vulnerable, at my happiest and my weakest, but they also show growth, strength, independence, love, and the comfort I feel in my new skin.
Missing elements of representation and visibility affected me, and my pregnancy more than I expected. I felt isolated, misunderstood, unheard, sometimes unsafe, and drained through sections of my pregnancy. The constant ending of google searches with, on a black woman, for a black woman, or on black skin left me irritated.
The camera allowed me to visually capture the unedited and truthful depiction of a pregnant black woman, the early stages of parenting, and the mental and physical changes that our bodies go through during these stages.”
