TriTRItri, the word tri (3) repeated in different registers. This work is a kaleidoscopic exploration of queer imagery, sound and spoken word using The Three Crowns (a gay pub that was destroyed by fire in 2014) as it’s springboard. The video is a result of various discussions and sharings between McGilvary and Thomas asking the question ‘what’s Cymraeg queerness anyway’?.
Owain Train McGilvary is an artist from Ynys Môn working with moving image, drawing, painting and collage that is anchored in collaboration. He is interested in modes of communication derived from popular culture and queer vernaculars, through investigating the subcultures that engage with them. Often guided by the tensions between fact and feelings, he devotes projects with people over long periods of time through building trusting relationships that continue beyond the legacy of the work.
Talulah is a DJ, composer & writer from Llangollen. Previous work includes sound design with theatre company Nothing More To Say for ‘52 Monologues for Young Transsexuals’ at Vaults Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. They were also part of Peak Cymru’s ‘Pegwn’ programme alongside Dylan Huw and Llinos Anwyl, resulting in audio-visual work on the use of language as an artistic and political tool. Talulah’s sound work is rooted in collaboration, community-building & conversations around queerness.
