“My art is grounded in the belief of one universal energy which runs through everything: from insect to man, from man to spectre, from spectre to plant from plant to galaxy. “My works are the irrigation veins of this universal fluid. Through them ascend the ancestral sap, the original beliefs, the primordial accumulations, the unconscious thoughts that animate the world”
― Ana Mendieta
"Iam no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will."

Teachers Strike Rally and March through Leeds
and International Den-making Day join in to chant, build a protest den and tell Michael Gove his education policies are a shocking, regressive attempt to turn schools into environments of joyless  measurement,
