I am a child of the 70&#8217;s there is a sense of familiarity and nostalgia in the pages of the book. The paddling pool image in the park reminded me of the summer of 1976 and long days by a lido in with my parents, brothers and sisters.<\/p>\n<p>I am interested in valuing gestures of care, therefore I cropped out details of mothers from the photographs. I\u00a0wanted to re-frame the context of images so the focus was the maternal as opposed to a place to see in Tampere. The mothers become the site seeing; \u00a0pushing prams, caring for babies, watching and facilitating play.<\/p>\n<p>When I am in Tampere with Naoise, I want to spend time together with him playing in parks, meeting and observing Finnish mothers with their children. I wonder how differently people parent in Finland? Are there any particular parenting styles. How do they approach and value play, care, labour and education?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A friend of mine Catherine Putz invited me to her home in Hebden Bridge and told me stories about her experiences of living and working in Tampere teaching English as a Foreign Language in 1979.
