Feeding Futures of Leeds Manifesto
Wednesday 13th November 12 – 2pm
Leeds Art Gallery
Join us for the launch of the Feeding Futures of Leeds Manifesto.
The Manifesto calls for a more inclusive, healthy and caring Leeds City Centre, where parents can safely feed and look after their children. It was created through a series of creative workshops at Leeds Art Gallery, where members of Bosom Buddies breastfeeding peer support group and young women from the South Leeds-based Shine Project, alongside members of the public, shared their practical ideas for how the city centre could be made more welcoming for families.
Leeds Art Gallery workshops
To coincide with the inclusion of the Feeding Chair in the Found Cities, Lost Objects exhibition at Leeds Art Gallery, curated by Lubaina Himid CBE, we will be running a series of workshops to collectively create a floor flag manifesto for care and feeding, including breastfeeding, in Leeds City Centre. Drop into Leeds Art Gallery between 11am and 3pm on Wed 10th – Sat 13th April to take part.
