Breastfeeding Art Expo – Breastfeeding Change

About the Project

The Breastfeeding Art Expo toured across central British Columbia (Canada) from June 2017-June 2018. Take a virtual tour by viewing the two videos below and the other videos on our YouTube channel. You can also look through the Art Catalogue, and our Final Reports. The Breastfeeding Art Expo Network shows the broad range of social networks that were created as a result of this project. As a direct outcome of this Art Expo, we are moving ahead in Interior Health with a Baby-Friendly Initiative Pilot Project to improve policies and practices within hospitals and communities to better support women to successfully breastfeed.
