CoDI BWM!

Sept 2023 - July 2024 Phase 1

Sept 2024 - June 2025 Phase 2

In partnership with Ty Cerdd, Articulture & Oxford Contemporary Music, funded by Jerwood.

Part of the Welsh cohort for this pathway exploring Climate Justice & outdoor sound & music creation. For my practice this translated as researching traditional methods of farming/agriculture & contrasting this with the current face of Welsh farming, mindful of the balance (& politics) needed for biodiversity. During a residency in NW Wales I retraced old Drover’s routes alongside exploring temperate or ‘Celtic rainforests’ that stretch throughout Wales - Coedwigoedd Glaw Celtaidd Cymru - seeing how all these different threads weave together.

These ideas fed into the how sound can be activated through movement, allowing us to reflect on Nature around us. The video below shares some early WIP ideas around these themes. See ‘Breathing’ for the final scratch of this work.
