October

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.

Swansea based artists Philip Cheater, Kathryn Anne-Trussler, Amy Goldring, Tom Morris, Eifion Sven-Myer & Ann Jordan have created a series of artworks responding to the Brangwyn Hall Panels in Swansea.

‘Remembering our Heroes’ is an exhibition of eight panels giving an overview of some of the First World War heroes from Swansea and Neath Port Talbot who displayed exceptional bravery and were honored in return with medals.

40 artists respond to the Swansea Museum collection and Now the Hero themed activities by creating a multi-media exhibition trail. Contemporary responses will be situated among the artefacts investigating memory, loss and our seemingly never-ending behavioural cycle of war and destruction.

Exhibition & workshops to celebrate the centenary of the partial victory in the women’s suffrage campaign in 1918, with a focus on the local campaign and some prominent women campaigners.

Galerie Simpson is honored to be supporting Marc Rees’s “Now the Hero” with Simon Periton’s exhibition “Your War, My Love” from the 1996 piece of the same name.

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.

New film work at Glynn Vivian by Swansea-based artists, Anna Barratt, Gemma Copp and Joan Jones, explores planetary and outer-planetary themes of loss, emptiness, futility and dislocation.

Elysium gallery artists Philip Cheater, Kathryn Anne-Trussler, Amy Goldring, Tom Morris, Eifion Sven-Myer & Ann Jordan have created a series of large artworks responding to the Brangwyn Hall Panels in Swansea.
