Poet and writer Lowri Hedd Vaughan contemplates her creative practice and her connection to nature. She shares gentle reflections on her writing, intertwining her deep appreciation for the natural world in Welsh.
Archif is a living record of contemporary artists in North Wales, documenting their work, personal stories, and creative journeys by Gwenno Llwyd Till, an artist and filmmaker based in North Wales.
She told us: “Through documenting the arts and culture around me, I founded Archif—a grassroots platform/digital zine supporting Welsh artists by sharing short films, photographs, essays, and interviews with the focus of documenting and sharing their creative endeavours with the world.
It started by focusing on documenting and sharing the art made by my friends, family, and people within my immediate circle (or tribe), and it’ll only grow bigger and better, I hope.
Archif aims to capture diverse creative practices, from visual arts and literature to crafts and performance, making them accessible to a broad, bilingual audience, and by highlighting artists’ work with personal narratives, the project fosters visibility, community, and inclusivity in the arts! Archif aims to celebrate all forms of creative expression, ensuring North Wales’ artists are seen, heard, and remembered.”
