Pererin Wyf #2 David Greenslade: ‘Welsh Fever’ Ail-brofi Cymru trwy Siapan a Gogledd America

Pererin Wyf / Is Oilithreach Mé / I am a Pilgrim is a participatory arts project seeking to connect with the Welsh and Irish diaspora with particular reference to Pembrokeshire and Wexford and a new cross-border pilgrimage connecting these places. The project takes its title and inspiration from an 18th century hymn by the prolific Welsh writer William Williams Pantycelyn.

The second session of Pererin Wyf / Is Oilithreach Mé / I am a Pilgrim took place on the 14th October when author David Greenslade presented his experiences of Buddhist pilgrimage, living and travelling amongst the Welsh diaspora in North America and now living on the street where he was born while also living abroad. David spoke of perceptions of Wales from far away and the peaks and troughs of re-experiencing Wales as a journey of eternal return. 

Pererin Wyf has been commissioned by the Ancient Connections Project led by Pembrokeshire County Council with partners Wexford County Council, Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority and Visit Wexford. It is funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Ireland Wales Co-operation Programme.
