Glynn Vivian is delighted to be exhibiting Yinka Shonibare MBE’s powerful work, End of Empire, which explores themes of conflict, empire and migration in the centenary year of the end of the First World War.

This exhibition brings together work from the collections of Glynn Vivian Art Gallery and the Dylan Thomas Centre, to illuminate the relationships and dialogues between poetry and art.

To tie in with Now The Hero / Nawr Yr Arwr, the Dylan Thomas Centre presents a temporary exhibition featuring the medieval Welsh poem Y Gododdin, focusing on its influence on David Jones’ epic, In Parenthesis.
