3rd August – 3rd September

Join us on the 3rd, 6pm till 8pm at Turner House Penarth for the private view.

tactileBOSCH and Cadw present, a group exhibition reflecting on Welsh heritage and collective ritual through a contemporary lens.

Agora brings together artists from across Wales whose work responds to themes of heritage, ritual and the land. An innovative approach to making and showcasing new artwork that celebrates tradition and powerfully expresses the potential that places hold.

This exhibition takes the Agora [The gathering place] as the inspiration for new methods of radical cultural exchange.

With a focus on Welsh heritage, folklore, language and natural abundance this show is rooted in sustainability, diversity and the desire to nourish our personal and cultural connections to Wales. This exhibition showcases new work by a range of contemporary artists as well as documenting recent collaborative work made on location at Cadw heritage sites.

Mae Agora yn dod ag artistiaid o bob rhan o Gymru ynghyd y mae eu gwaith yn ymateb i themâu treftadaeth, defod a’r tir. Dull arloesol o wneud ac arddangos gwaith celf newydd sy’n dathlu traddodiad ac yn mynegi’n rymus botensial lleoedd.

Mae’r arddangosfa hon yn cymryd yr Agora [Y man ymgynnull] fel ysbrydoliaeth ar gyfer dulliau newydd o gyfnewid diwylliannol radical.

Gyda ffocws ar dreftadaeth Gymreig, llên gwerin, iaith a digonedd naturiol mae’r sioe hon wedi’i gwreiddio mewn cynaliadwyedd, amrywiaeth a’r awydd i feithrin ein cysylltiadau personol a diwylliannol â Chymru. Mae’r arddangosfa hon yn arddangos gwaith newydd gan amrywiaeth o artistiaid cyfoes yn ogystal â dogfennu gwaith cydweithredol diweddar a wnaed ar leoliad yn safleoedd treftadaeth Cadw.
