An exhibition of original postcard artwork created for this years Postcard Project with artist James Cocks and madeinroath’s CREATE co-ordinator Pip Tudor.

Looking at Roath as a physical space and as a wider community of people, lead artist James Cocks ran three workshops inviting people to unpick their own ideas of Roath through a series of writing tasks and an exploration of the area. We often do not take the time to really reflect on where we live so during the workshops people were encouraged to walk around Roath looking, thinking, exploring, writing and from this participants made word collages and developed their postcard designs.

The original postcard artwork will be on display alongside printed postcards for you to take away and send to friends, family, loved ones, strangers to show them our written pictures of Roath.

‘we’re still here’ mixes landscape imagery and portraiture of local residents together and blends itself into a narrative structure of loneliness and reverie, hinting at bygone days of youth and prosperity, which may have metamorphosed into something darker and more desolate.

I have spent the last year drawing portraits at Rhydypennau Library, where I have heard many lovely stories. This is where this work began.

It is Christmas time, possibly Boxing Day, 1946 or 1947. The Pride of Roath Park boat is taken out on the lake, decorated to look like a swan and carrying a fleet of swan ballerinas, tutus and all. Hazel was 12 and one of the young ballerinas who attended the local ballet school just opposite the lake, she has long been hoping to find a photo of this event.

These paintings are inspired by Hazel’s story and quest to find a photograph. They are part memory and a partly imagined re-telling of this tale.

All ages welcome.

An exhibition of photographs and poetry inspired by the doors and windows of Roath, exploring the complexities of living in a shared urban environment, asking questions such as: How do we connect with those around us? What prevents us from crossing the threshold to a new place? And how do we respond to new challenges and opportunities?

Rachel Carney is a poet, blogger and photographer with a keen interest in ekphrastic writing. This project forms part of her ongoing research into the interaction between visual art and poetry. She is currently completing an MA in Creative Writing, and has had poems published in various journals including Ink Sweat and Tears, The Open Mouse, The High Window, The Wales Haiku Journal and Sarasvati Magazine.

Two years ago ‘Gorau Chwarae, cyd-chwarae’ reverberated around Cardiff, Wales and the World as the proverb spurred the Welsh football team to greatness. This project seeks to explore Welsh proverbs, representing as they do community wisdom developed over centuries. The proverbs selected here highlight inclusivity, optimism and hope. This project places a selection of proverbs back into the community through letterform. This is a development from an exhibition in Oriel Blodau Bach.

Emma Hutchinson is a classically trained fine artist with a BA(Hons) in Painting from CSAD at Cardiff Metropolitan University, who has gone on to launch a business providing bespoke modern portraiture internationally.

The focus of Emma’s project will be Llanedeyrn’s only shopping centre, the Maelfa, which is undergoing exciting redevelopment taking the form of new shops, a library, health centre and affordable housing. The aim of this project is to create an historical snapshot of the people who work and live in the area, to preserve a way of life before and during this phase of redevelopment.

The parallel lines of the brutalist architecture has given the Maelfa a tired reputation, becoming outdated as the area has grown. The new development provides an opportunity for existing businesses and new services to replenish the area. This project looks at the lives of those who will be affected positively by those changes and to examine the personal impact of the renovation.

Wicked Women’s Institute is founded by Emina Redzepovic,  it’s a project for the empowerment of women, a podcast featuring real and honest conversations, craft, workshops and lots more. Being a wicked women is about self love, smashing the patriarchy, not accepting sexism and being proud of who you are.

Self love surgery is about focusing on the positive, we’re constantly subjected to images of ‘ideals’ and ‘perfection’ so we buy creams, clothes and lotions that help us achieve it but do we ever stop and see ourselves as we are? Accepting of the imperfections, being nice to ourselves and feeling ok with who we are.

Colour in some affirmations, write some, take some, scale your self love and have a look in the mirror and listen to some positive, life affirming words all with tea, coffee and biscuits – yum.

This event is for everyone but some affirmations may contain naughty words.

‘space, hope + altered estates’ continues Stitt’s personal exploration into brutalist architecture and the physical experience of day-to-day living amongst the ‘new future’ of post world war society. Bold + abstract, Stitt’s paintings suggest the function of art + architecture as a futuristic vision of social development. We encounter overlapping architectural blueprints, strange non-objects + floating geometric shapes; certain motifs hark to the mid-century modern, yet simultaneously hint at the digital + the coded. This is Stitt’s imagined + constructed retro-future – hard, angular + flat.

Closing Day, No appointment necessary.

My artwork explores nature and the theme of protection.

My work is both decorative and scientific, yet full of meaning which is intertwined with my own experiences. I am intrigued by museum collections and the process of ordering and storing specimens and motivated by my knowledge of how to care for, repair and prevent the decay of objects over time. These interests influence my choice of materials and the way in which I catalogue and display my work. My fragile plants are created from beeswax that lasts for hundreds of years and my delicate bees’ wings are etched from solid sheets of copper which oxidises to form its own protective surface. My works are named and numbered in sequences and housed in trays, boxes and domes to keep them in order and safe from harm.

Through my artwork I aim to combine fragility and strength in a unique manner, to create beauty and inspiration that will encourage others to observe and protect the natural world around them.

Sarah Boulton is an artist based in Wales. She graduated from Slade School of Art and works in between performance, writing, detailed events and ephemeral installations.

Doves is a piece that I first tested in 2014 at the Slade with friends but we never documented it. A gathering of dove soap segments will be in place for viewers to take from, to keep or use. The works exist best in the fantasy of the imagination but also in the daily run of life. Washing your hands with dove soaps means that the work is simultaneously happening and dissolving. The artwork is the fact that there is a chance that the smell of dove soap can live in the air across multiple places over a slightly stretched period of time.

The artwork is suitable for an audience of all ages and will be lovely for a child who is first learning to wash their hands. The soap can be kept as a relic if unused, or discarded, just as the viewer intends.

It is the root capacity of symbolism to spark connections in the mind and convey meaning. In this workshop participants will explore their responses to symbolism and the associations they make.

Through writing and discussion we will examine the landscape of the psyche and the connections sparked in response to the images.

The intention is to create a relaxed environment and it will be the individual’s choice whether or not to partake in group discussion. Some will prefer just to write about the associations they see.

A creative writing workshop based on the work of Charles Byrd (1916-2018) whose paintings depict Cardiff in the 1950s, capturing the city at an important time in history; emerging from the second world war, energised by new technologies, materials, music, culture and leisure. His paintings tell a story of Cardiff, full of colour and vibrant with life.

Come along and view these fascinating paintings of a much-changed and disappearing cityscape, share stories, explore the history of Cardiff and write a short story prompted by one of the paintings.

Stories may be published on the Artist Trails website and included in the Charles Byrd Story Trail.

The workshop will be led by two local artists…

As a recent Fine Art graduate I have found myself looking at the domestic and recently focused on the mundane and often overlooked clothes peg. Fascinating imagery around the peg such as holding on and fighting with nature and washday metaphors such as don’t air your dirty washing in public which in these times have direct correlation’s to the use of the mobile phone, have led me this fun way of exploring the domestic and hopefully discovering even more interesting and revealing metaphors and ideas for future work.

Sock it to me is a request for your lonely socks (we all have them lingering in the bottoms of our drawers) and to hang them in a celebration, a salute to the individual and revelation of what we as a community wear on our feet! This is an event that the whole family can enjoy dig out your socks and a peg or two and join me in this celebration of the unsung hero – the sock….. Tell me about them, write a poem, a story, draw them, ……   we will just have fun

I often work with memories and nostalgia, my child hood was structured around my Grandma’s Bingo addiction (or battle with depression). Here, in revisiting my past alongside madeinroath. I have created the feel of a Social Club ‘Bingo Hall’, in the space fitting of the classic game. The authenticity of fixtures and fittings, interplayed with my spoken word pieces add a contemporary element of performance to bring the old fashioned British institution of Bingo and poetry together against the backdrop of the traditional pubs of Roath.

Watch-Africa’s ‘Wales-Africa Film Club’ was set up as an informal group interested in watching, exploring and getting involved in African film. The club is part of Watch-Africa Film Festival https://watch-africa.co.uk/

We are developing an African film club, an informal community of people interested in watching, exploring and getting involved in African film. The club which is part of Watch-Africa will use under served locations for screenings, especially BAME communities. Films related to Africa and those made by African filmmakers hardly reach everyone, we want to expand the reach of African films beyond independent cinemas. This screening kickstarts the club in Cardiff, to see and discuss the role of art in political activism, in this context looking at Burkina Faso and how art has shaped the political landscape of the country. We will be joined by artist and filmmakers from Burkina Faso and Gavin Porter for Q&A.

How social is social media?

I am currently a Fine Art Masters student at Cardiff Metropolitan University, who is interested in the internet and social media. My work focuses on information that is passed from screen to screen, and the emotional impact this can have on internet users.

My video piece is suitable for all ages, although it is mostly aimed at teenagers and young people that have grown up while surrounded by technology and the internet.

We are a mother (Kathryn) and daughter (Maeve), 5th and 4th generation Roath locals respectively. Our family, from parents with babies in prams to the very elderly, have always enjoyed park wandering. Our installation is a memorial to what’s been lost and the damage to the environment and the community. But it’s also an opportunity to reframe – and celebrate the trees and the beautiful parks.

Lead artist Maeve is a sculptor who has recently been working mainly with ice. Kathryn works with mixed media. We had been working independently on tree-centric pieces when this idea began.

(Ice melts! – and the work will change a little over the period of the festival)

Paintings and mixed media work by a survivor.

My artist journey started after 2011 when I almost lost the fight . Life happened and a violent aneurysm hit my brain. I was paralysed in a wheelchair and in nappies for 5 months and decided not for me. So painted my way.. to where I am today. Finished my MA in art health and wellbeing after 3 years in Dramarthen (Carmarthen) BA-fine art.

What doesn’t kill u makes u stronger.
