A programme of artistic interventions & events, based at the University of Central Lancashire, which examines the ways in which artists contribute to a place.
October saw @JoannaWolfarth's response to the Feed project @InCertainPlaces@textbookstudio 'Feed connects with other artistic explorations of hungry babies, feeding parents, lactating bodies, politics and public spaces...' buff.ly/3snXLdv
Join me next week as I run what I hope is the first of a series of workshop titled #soundmemories. Exploring the impact of @sound and @noise on ageing - and what we need to do to create restorative sonic spaces in towns and cities. @TheworldofAT @ad_chasey @battisti_c
'What hope did I have of publicly feeding in full comfort given a lifetime of experiences of patriarchal intimidation in public spaces?'
@JoannaWolfarth reflects on Feed, a new collaboration with @InCertainPlaces, @Corridor8 and @textbookstudiobuff.ly/3snXLdv

#ArtistSpotlight
Born to Protest dismantles presumptions about the black male and female figure based on intimidation, danger and isolation, revealing instead character traits around fragility, vulnerability and a constant battle to prove oneself.
