Programme
Darnau Bach | Little Fragments
Darnau Bach | Little Fragments is a solo exhibition of the work of Marian Delyth, complimenting her major survey exhibition at Ffotogallery in Cardiff as part of Ffoto Cymru 2024.
In Plain Sight (Miss Jenkins? - after Richard Wilson)
In the artist's research responding to the title of this year’s Festival ‘What You See Is What You Get’, the painting by Richard Wilson has become a metaphor for the question: Do we really get what we see? and how does an image speak to the truth?
Out of Sight & Out of Mind
What does it mean to be a Mother today? What is the relationship between motherhood, care and labour and how is this relationship being shaped for tomorrow's world?
Visible Repairs
Visible Repairs is a work where a new coniated ethos “The Welsh Dream” emerges as a revitalised concept seeking to reshape the narrative distancing itself from the capitalization of the term often associated with the American Dream.
If you kiss him, you won’t dream about him.
This series confronts the cycle of domestic violence and trauma that has affected the women in my family for generations. The work is a visual response to the indiscernibility of domestic narratives that appear in the family album.
Darnau | Fragments
Darnau | Fragments is a major solo survey exhibition of the work of Marian Delyth, celebrating the launch of the 2024 Ffoto Cymru festival this October.
The imagined land of belonging
The imagined land of belonging showcases a diverse collection of photographic works, unified by a shared curiosity of our connections to landscapes, family, heritage, and ritual.
New Farmer
New Farmer poses as a collection of documentary photographs from the 1960s that seem to reiterate the success story of the Green Revolution: genetic manipulation results in new crop varieties which result in bigger and better harvests.
The Final Days of Georgian Nomads
Mountainous Adjara is a unique region in Georgia where traditions and old ways of life are preserved. However, the area's isolation has long been a challenge, with recent decades particularly difficult.
The Changemakers Project
The Changemakers Project, led by HDA and funded by the Welsh Government and Arts Council of Wales, seeks to show the nature of change in the 20th Century - a time of the reshaping of continents after two World Wars that drew on the Empires of the European nations and fed the final collapse of European Empires.
Histories, Legacies & Futures
Selected as part of the Ffoto Cymru International Open Call, Histories, Legacies & Futures brings together the work of Melissa Rodrigues and Aisha Ajnabi.
Training Bra
Training Bra is an ongoing exploration and dialogue between the artist and her inner child. Through self-portraiture, archive, and documentary photography, Katie examines her feelings of nostalgia, confusion, and self-realization – each emotion bubbling to the surface as she reflects through her younger self to accept self-love as the person she is today.
ain’t I a woman?
ain't i a woman looks at industrial wealth and workers, ideas of home as exhibition space, an opening speech by Mrs Crawshay on the Women’s Suffrage movement and portraiture.
