Robin Hayward – exploring the micro-sounds of a tuba, filling slowly with sand.
How do grassroots feminist organisations strategise relationships between mothers, parents, carers and their children based on respect and empowerment, in resistance to the practice of putting children in often the most uncaring of places – care.
