'Feed', a project about the trials of feeding babies in a society that continues to see it as awkward or offensive. Read my piece about cooperation and breastfeeding, edited by @PractisingPlace, alongside other fantastic texts, and more: feedproject.art/zine.

announcing… Canal’s first three books! this December we will release the poetry collections ‘Réplica’ by Rebecca Close and ‘Chaos Rehearsals’ by Madeleine Stack, as well as ‘Frot the World’, a collection of fiction by Fer Boyd. All three are now available for pre-order!
A compelling reflection on this much-needed project about feeding babies in public spaces, ahead of the launch of 'Feeding Chair' at @WhitworthArt in November. #breastfeeding #bottlefeeding #FeedingBabies
'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 @textbookstudio

About 100 yds from where the #BluePlaque for #DavidOluwale was installed last night, here’s the #DavidOluwaleBridge being put into service. That’s going to be harder for them to tear down. #Leeds stays strong.
Yorkshire friends this is shaping up to be a great exhibition, curated by Hondartza Fraga and featuring loads of great artists. Oh, and I've got a little essay in the catalogue too.
Preview tomorrow, while spaces last: library.leeds.ac.uk/events/e…
