Project Cardiff

Saturday, May 5th, 2012
Posted in: Blog, Collaboration, News Feed

ProjectCardiff will consist of a series of portraits of those people who make a valuable contribution to the life and soul of Wales’ capital city.

This inaugural chapter of ProjectCardiff will focus upon those individuals who are making a positive contribution to the creative cultural life of Wales’ capital city. These individuals may be involved in some way with artistic, creative, design or cultural endeavours: people who help to shape, influence & make a difference in Cardiff through their talent, enthusiasm and hard work.

ProjectCardiff invites the community of Cardiff to participate in this project by nominating their own creative and inspirational heroes. Help us identify these individuals whether they be artists, activists, architects, bloggers, crafters, designers, developers, entrepreneurs, film makers, organisers, promoters, performers, imaginators…

What is it about these individuals that impresses most?
How are they making a difference?

ProjectCardiff seeks to unearth the interesting and inspiring stories of Cardiff’s inhabitants and draw people’s attention to the city’s vibrant energy and abundance of talent.

ProjectCardiff is not intended to be a popularity contest and as such individuals will not be selected based upon the number of nominations they receive. Nominations for neophytes to the creative and cultural industries will be considered with equal merit to those received for long established creative entrepreneurs who have brought a multitude of activities, events and other projects to the city.

A selection panel will be convened later this year to assess the nominations received along with those names canvassed from conversations with the lovely people who dwell in this energetic young city following which individuals will be invited to sit for a portrait by the talented photographer Lann Niziblian.

Do please visit www.projectcardiff.com to make a contribution to this project and nominate a Cardiffian who has inspired you recently.

I went to see Cirkus Cirkör performing in Cardiff last week and was treated to a wonderful show. This is the trailer for the show which was entitled ‘Wear it Like a Crown’.

If you get a chance to see Cirkus Cirkör perform I’d definitely recommend it.

Shadow Play: Peter & The Wolf

Thursday, December 15th, 2011
Posted in: Blog

I headed over to Tommy’s Bar in Cardiff last night to watch some wonderous shadow puppet shows by Year 1 & 2 Illustration Students from Cardiff School of Art & Design. The puppets were absolutely beautiful and all of the performances were totally spellbinding.

This performance of Peter and The Wolf by Layla Holzer was the first of the night and set the perfect tone for the rest of the evening. This was followed by Hans Christian-Andersen’s The Snow Queen which was told in seven parts. Clips of those tales will be available to view via the Illustration Cardiff blog in the next few days.
