Love this project! Bringing together the legacy of @DandelionScot with @CCScotland #ClimateBeacons and our brilliant @we_are_HCC Artist in Residence Sinéad Hargan to create a community art garden for Caithness

@h_ct_r_maci_nes @JemChanOT 🙋🏼‍♀️ I was inspired by Quilt Club Seven Sisters and their Big House Quilt, and started a session in Dingwall. Early days there still but would love to make something big together if folk are up for it.

Hello I want to read/listen to something on conditionality in justice & the arts - by which I mean, eg, implicit expectations built in to prison arts projects that they will be somehow interleaved with rehabilitation and/or reflection on situation… who writes/talks about this?

@Kathryn_Welch_ @MetroUK I played this game in @WHSmith “Smart Thinking” section in Gatwick this weekend. 48 books. 6 written by women.

[Cat Meighan @catmeighan]

we created banners for Pride events, using making and doing as a way to facilitate conversation - one of the main things that came out was that sex education /information / a forum to talk about healthy relationships was clearly missing from their school offer /

I also worked with @RASASHighland collaborating on their Stand Up project, empowering young folk and providing a platform to stand up against sexual violence. So refreshing to work with such an inclusive and creative group!/

[Cat Meighan @catmeighan]

I have met & worked with the most incredible women. The privilege of having time to build relationships, explore together, & learn from each other is something to highlight. Each woman taking time to engage, open minded & willing to go with us on our collective creative journey/

[Cat Meighan @catmeighan]

I have been working with women and children impacted by domestic abuse. This has seen me work in partnership with @scotwomensaid with their services and refuges in Ross-shire @Rosswomensaid (RWA), Caithness and Sutherland (CASWA) and Inverness (IWA)/
