📢📢📢 Great opportunity for an artist in residence to work with ourselves @MaltingsVA and CreativeArts@NCLUni exploring the theme of food

When was the last time you saw a cow? Not in a photo. Not on Minecraft. A real mooing cow. For many people in Newcastle, the answer is every day, because there's literally 1,000 acres of common land in the city centre, where cattle have grazed since the 12th century. (a thread)

On the FIELD project website, the project team have created stories about their work. This one explores the Town Moor, and local people's memories of the cows that graze there: from seeing them up close, to watching them hear music. It's a lovely read! stories.field-wt.co.uk/when-did-you-l…

Brilliant day with the FIELD_WT team, our first in person meeting since Feb 20. Talked about why endemic livestock diseases persist, our artists in residence, and locating animals in oral histories. Added bonus of dropping in on @francesca_lanz's great seminar on mind museums.

NSA welcomes the launch of a new Ruminant Health and Welfare report that highlights how reducing endemic diseases in livestock can support the slowing of climate change by reducing methane emissions. 💻Read more of NSA’s reaction here go.nationalsheep.org.uk/6Z4L1W
