  • ABERYSTWYTH DIGITAL HERITAGE WALK the Women's Heritage Walk Has Been Developed As Part of the Women's Archive of Wales '
    ABERYSTWYTH DIGITAL HERITAGE WALK The Women’s Heritage Walk has been developed as part of the Women’s Archive of Wales ‘Century of Hope Project’, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The project marks the centenary of some women getting the right to vote in parliamentary elections, and this walk draws attention to some of the remarkable women who have lived in Aberystwyth during the last two hundred years, and to the man who contributed powerfully to the campaign for the vote. The information in this booklet gives a very brief account of their achievements, but we hope that – especially for the less well known – it will lead to more interest in them. Length of walk: approximately 90 minutes. Ability level: this walk should be accessible to all levels of ability. Route: Ceredigion Museum, Pier Street, Old College, Vulcan Street, Chalybeate Street, Portland Street, Alexandra Hall, The Prom, the Coliseum Theatre and Cinema, Ceredigion Museum. Follow the walk on an App. The Women’s Archive of Wales would like to thank Advancing Aberystwyth for working in partnership with us to develop the free digital app version of this walk. Search for ‘Aber App’ at the App Store or Google Play using your IOS or Android device. The App is free and available in Welsh & English. The Women’s Archive of Wales works to raise the profile of women’s history in Wales and to preserve the sources which tell their story. We organise all kinds of events to promote and celebrate the history of women in Wales.

    Versions of Welsh Culture Visual Culture & Gender, Vol. 3, 2008 an annual peer-reviewed international multimedia journal Throughout history, England has sought to control and exploit Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Wales has seen herself as a colonised coun- try, denied free expression of her language and culture by her oppressor. A COMMENT A RY ON WOMEN CRE A TING SP ac E S Like other indigenous cultures, Welsh culture persists through an oral IN WEL S H V I S U A L CULTURE tradition, which in this case, is often identified with the musical tradition of bards, writers, singers, and musicians. However, Peter Lord, a leading PENELO P E COLLET authority on the visual arts in Wales, rejects this narrow view. In Imag- ing the Nation (2000) he has collected bountiful evidence of painting, Abstract sculpture, drawing, photography, cinema, and some printmaking and il- lustration that contributes to a sense of Welsh national identity and visual Women’s histories provide a vivid and perhaps drastic tradition.

Programme of activity Based on the campus of Aberystwyth University, Aberystwyth Arts Centre continues to be one of Wales’ busiest and most vibrant cultural hubs. Last year, there were over 400,000 attenders for the Arts Centre’s vast and eclectic artistic programme. This programme included theatre performance, visual arts and new media, applied arts, film and cinema, festivals, music, literature, education/outreach programmes and community arts programmes. With such a diverse and wide-ranging programme it is almost invidious to pick out highlights. However, by mentioning some of the particular achievements, it becomes easier to offer an indicative sense of the Arts Centre’s programme policy. The visual arts and new media programme saw over 50 artists showing work in 2008/09). These included South African William Kentridge, Seven Fragments for George Melies, Day for Night and Journey to the Moon, an extraordinary installation of nine projected works playing alongside each other with one soundtrack. Jordan Baseman, with Inside Man , showed a programme of four projected works with one specifically commissioned by the Arts Centre projected at the entrance to the exhibition.

  • Aberystwyth University Women's Club 1955-2015 (PDF)
    I. Beginnings Three of us, Mollie Reynolds, Hannah Harbury and myself were having coffee together, and we saw the wife of one of the members of staff going past. In that pre-feministic age, the custom was to refer to ‘the wife of this-or-that professor’. Anyway, not one of us could remember who she was, and we agreed that that was a laughable situation. You have to remember that only a fifth of the number of students that are here today were at the College at that time; the majority of the staff lived in the town and the professors either walked or bicycled to the College. There were very few houses on Waunfawr, and nearly every College department was in the old building. Mollie suggested that we start a Club. And so we set about composing a letter and having copies made. There was no such thing as photocopying then. We were surprised by the reaction, everyone was enthusiastic, and I found myself treasurer of this new Club, much to my husband’s unease! This is how Mair Williams described the formation of the University of Wales Women’s Club (or the College Women’s Club as it was first called) in Yr Angor in 1995 on the occasion of its 40th anniversary. She later recalled that this had happened at a College event around 1954, about the time that Goronwy Rees had arrived at Aberystwyth. Mollie Reynolds suggestion that we start a Club stemmed from the fact that she had been a member of a Women’s Club at the London School of Economics where her husband, Philip A.
