Sounds of the Valley Launch 4th February

Sounds of the Valley was launched at the Pontardawe Arts Centre last Friday 4th February. To see more images of the launch night please see our GALLERY

Arena Pontardawe commissioned artists David Marchant and Marlo Flores to work with schools, individuals and user groups at the Glantawe Riverside Park, Pontardawe to record their responses to the environment; its history, culture and landscape, both natural and man made to create a work combines sound, dialogue, music and visuals in a thought provoking collage.

The film was officially opened by Andrew Davies AM and we were delighted that the Mayor of Pontardawe, Jean Bowen, was able to attend. The film was shown once through, then a second time with live performances by some of those involved with the project. DVDs of the film are available to purchase for £3.

An exhibition of the ‘Sounds of the Valley’ - a multi-screen audio-visual installation continues in Oriel Lliw Gallery, Pontardawe Arts Centre 7-19 February.
