From 2022-2024 Sandy and Rebecca have been Public Engagement Artists on the Wellcome-funded Animal Feeding Project run by Exeter University. They ran many art classes at the different partner venues, on the theme of creating a contemporary bestiary (based on Medieval books of animals). Workshops were run at Edinburgh Zoo, the National Museum of Scotland, Fishbourne Roman Palace and the Museum of English Rural Life.
