How do we tell new stories about cows, sheep, farmers and the lives they share? In our new blog, discover the FIELD project, @field_wt, which has been doing just that with film screenings, zines, and (we're not kidding) lifesize cardboard cutouts of our photography collection.

On the FIELD project website, the project team have created stories about their work. This one explores the Town Moor, and local people's memories of the cows that graze there: from seeing them up close, to watching them hear music. It's a lovely read! stories.field-wt.co.uk/when-did-you-l…

When was the last time you saw a cow? Not in a photo. Not on Minecraft. A real mooing cow. For many people in Newcastle, the answer is every day, because there's literally 1,000 acres of common land in the city centre, where cattle have grazed since the 12th century. (a thread)
