A new art exhibition in Jersey is aiming to give a voice to those affected by domestic abuse.

Reconnected is now open at JARO Gallery in St Helier, showcasing artwork created by individuals with experience of domestic abuse.

Charity Kairos Arts is hosting the event as part of Domestic Abuse Awareness Week until 15 March.

Cathy Sara, founder and CEO of the charity, said it "seeks to explore the journey through the emotions and challenges of domestic abuse, to hope and empowerment and how through art a person can reconnect to oneself".

## 'Therapeutic work'

Kairos Arts is also selling artisan products made by women in India and Bolivia who have experienced trauma.

"Every product is making a difference to the artisan who created it and every sale in Jersey will help support our continued therapeutic work with adults and children," Ms Sara said.
