Stop 7 on the #WeRoar tour is a very special place: HMP Askham Grange, the very first prison I worked in, as artist in residence at the relatively nearby Ripon Prison and Police Museum Ripon Museums.

Such a special event, it was very emotional meeting participants & proudly seeing them speak about the experience. Thanks to everyone involved.

Lunch grab between HMP Deerbolt and HMP Askham Grange for the #WeRoar tour. So I need local food know-how. What do I do with Stotties? #stotties #barnardcastle

Very excited about sharing this #HiddenStories work soon, such powerful words & images emerging, inspired by Warwickshire Archive Our Warwickshire HeritageCultureWarks archives with Warwickshire Caring Together Warwickshire Libraries

Spent my birthday with lovely young adult care leavers and beautiful archive images, working on #hiddenstories with Warwickshire Caring Together Warwickshire Archive Thanks #nuneaton for the sunshine ☀️

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.
