Beach of Dreams

TAPE is currently part of an exciting project called Beach of Dreams; we are part of a network of organisations, artists, and communities in a shared mission to explore and respond to the pressing climate challenges facing the UK’s coastal regions. 

We have been working with Jason Singh, an artist, nature beatboxer, producer, DJ, curator, facilitator and performer. He has worked with the likes of the BBC, Tate Britain, and the National Trust to name a few! 

TAPE Sound will work alongside Jason to capture sound from various sources in Colwyn Bay and the surrounding areas to be part of an immersive sonic experience. He will also be looking to capture stories and perspectives from the local community. 

TAPE is proud to be part of this coastal celebration alongside commissioned artists and local communities across the UK!

Lumiere Project

The Lumiere project is part of the Festival of Light in collaboration with the Colwyn Bay Town Council, Creu Conwy and a range of other partners. Tape is working with several local community groups, including our regular media club and art club, to create installations that will be placed in shop windows in Colwyn Bay and illuminated. Contact us to learn how you can get involved, or join us on the 28th of November for the big reveal of the installations!
