  • Politics of Engagement Or Engagement with Politics?
    1 POLITICS OF ENGAGEMENT OR ENGAGEMENT WITH POLITICS? I am not sure whether it is life in these times or my time of life that makes me pose questions in this essay, rather than give answers. Do contemporary artist’s engage with politics in any meaningful way in Wales or anywhere else? Or does the practice of art in itself become a form of political engagement? In different historical periods, artists have been engaged or disengaged with politics, but in many ways, the often un-deliberate act of making art is a political and social statement in itself, in Wales even more so. Until recently, it made little economic sense to be an artist based in Wales. To live and work here is therefore a political decision which has ramifications; specific cultural, economic and political factors influence the artist’s work. We clearly see an engagement with social conditions in art from the 1930’s onwards, in the work of Evan Walters for example, see his magnificent red breasted “The Communist” of 1932 orating to a crowd. Post war, art in Wales could be praised for it’s avoidance of the international trends that were infiltrating into the British Isles, and for the emergence of a particular Welsh painting that became known as “Welsh Environmentalism”.i On the other hand the missionary zeal of the 56 Group must be aplauded for bringing a vigorous Modernism to Wales. It is post-Modern that Wales’s artists really ‘engage’ directly with politics. Artist’s like Paul Peter Piech, whose poster prints dealt with social politics, and Ogwyn Davies, who’s art consistently raises the issues of Welsh nationalismii, or the implied socialist message in the work of Jack Crabtree are examples.

  • 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.
