  • 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.

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.
