Feed is a collaborative art project that promotes inclusive, sustainable approaches to infant feeding and public space. Working with cultural venues, public health teams, artists and communities, we create opportunities for people to share their experiences of feeding babies and young children, while challenging negative social attitudes towards human milk and mothering.

Feed has been developed by Elaine Speight, as part of In Certain Places, a public art research project based at the University of Lancashire, in collaboration with Corridor8 and Textbook Studio.

We are interested in building partnerships and developing new projects with other artists, academics, health professionals, community groups and anyone else who is interested in these issues. To find out more about Feed or to tell us about your own work, please email info@feedproject.art or follow us on Instagram @feed_futures
