We just celebrated the #WeRoar tour of artworks and poems made by people in UK & US prisons within a family visit at HMPDeerbolt. With linked children's activities, it was beautiful seeing the positive impacts of this work in action. #prisonart #creativeenrichment Novus

#WeRoar tour pick up at HMP Buckley Hall, noting the site's entrance artwork: future, decency, respect, success. Novus HMPBuckleyHall

Such inspiring work based on the theme of Spring, with women who embody how beautiful new beginnings can be. #worcestercommunitytrust

#WeRoar HMPBuckleyHall launched with fab music, setting a high bar for events at the next 5 stops on the tour. I was not expecting My Fair Lady belting out across the prison! Thanks to all involved in its incredible reception in Rochdale. Arts Council England Prison Creative Arts Project Novus

#WeRoar is at HMPBuckleyHall in Rochdale for a few weeks: stop 5 on its UK prison tour. I'll be sharing more images from the tour soon, along with amazing comments on the artwork & poetry by people in prison in the UK & US. Supported by Arts Council England @novuschange Prison Creative Arts Project 🦁

I've just received an email from one of the staff behind the horticulture work at HMP Eastwood Park incredibly proud & excited to share the women's good work. I hope to visit one day to congratulate everyone in person 🌾🌺🌱 #prisonwellbeing #gardening #plantsprisonpotential

Thinking of everyone resident in & connected to HMYOI Cookham Wood on news of its sudden closure & re-roling as an adult prison. #WeRoar was due there with this incredible painting & poetry 'to empower & give voice to the voices often silenced' made in its watch cell Novus

Continued thanks to Jim Henson for a lifetime of inspiration🐸 and early wishes to all for a lovely weekend. We're nearly there... #wellbeing

20 years since my BBC interview with Peter Greenaway. An incredible opening exhibition & lively chat I provoked by precociously telling PG I prefer his early work to his big budget films. I'm a better artist now than I was a journalist! Happy birthday Compton Verney #throwback

Lovely recognition from Croome NationalTrust insta post, solidarity to all this International Women's Day.

I love this strange little hidden entrance at Croome NationalTrust. Far more me than the grand sweeping steps visitors enjoy.

An incredible exhibition, the mighty #WeRoar has spent several weeks here and our Staffordshire Libraries team have been encouraging borrowers to take a look at this amazing work. Thank you Faye Claridge Novus Prison Creative Arts Project Arts Council England and A.G. Smith - writer #prisonart

Just found this from over 10yrs ago, my son breaking gallery rules. Shocked now to realise the work he chose is In The Lion's Den Compton Verney. That pic is currently central to 2 yrs of my #WeRoar work with people in UK & US prisons with Prison Creative Arts Project

Such fantastic engagement for heritage, landscape & creativity.

Flashback to a few days seeing friends in Portugal last week. Many highlights, including tarts on the beach of course.
