'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: https://t.co/yTyaUki9T1.

@BasementArtsPro @LeedsInspired So sad to hear this. Leeds (and art) will not be the same without her. RIP Sally, I hope she went peacefully with loved ones around her.

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.
