Flags of Roath

James Cocks

Sat 15, 12pm – 3pm
Sun 16, Flags exhibited at Welcome House

Flags of Roath is a new project by artist James Cocks. Through a series of printed flags, which explore the rich cultural, social and historical identities of Roath, James will be hosting a celebratory procession through the streets of Roath to introduce these images to the community, highlighting all that is positive about Roath. The procession will feature performers, Welcome House artists, musicians and James Greens’ masks.

The flags will be on display at Made in Roath’s studios at Welcome House at the beginning of the day on Saturday 15th. From Welcome House, the procession will work its way to the Global Home event on Plasnewydd Rd to join the Puppet Parade before travelling on to 28 The Parade. On Sunday, the flags will be exhibited at Welcome House.

This project draws upon James’ involvement in the Red Route marches of Made in Spring ‘15 & ‘16 and the Cardiff without Culture protest earlier in the year.
