Future Memory in Place Celebration
By Pat Newman
Community is very important to Mumbles Matters as we are always looking for new and innovative ways of promoting community awareness. The Future Memory in Place project, which is the creation of Welsh artist Catrin Webster and Exeter University academic Elena Isayev, is one such inspirational initiative.
 
Elena Isayev and Catrin Webster
This Arts Project, supported by Glynn Vivian Gallery, the National Waterfront Museum, the Centre for Migration Policy Research at Swansea University and Swansea Metropolitan University will be celebrated by a series of events in Swansea and Mumbles on Saturday 1st October.
No less than 2,500 Swansea school children have been involved with the Future Memory in Place project, over the last six months. The idea of the project is about how people relate to their community and how memories and migration can be expressed in art.
BBC Big Screen, Castle Square, Swansea
At 12.00 pm on 1 October at the National Waterfront Museum Tessera Hospitalis, a steel structure made by project participants will be unveiled while at 2.00 pm a choir will perform ‘1000 Colours Blue’ with an exciting backdrop on the BBC giant screen which will simultaneously display 1,000 blue colours that employ ideas about landscape, space and colour inspired by ancient history, Wales and Mongolian Overtone singing.
