PENARTH Pier Pavilion will host a collaborative project, delivered by Dr Natasha Mayo and with help from you.

Beyond Borders explores how creativity can encourage debate about asylum with local and refugee families by drawing parallels between the movement of the earth and the movement of man.

Using the shoreline, the language of clay and a multidisciplinary cast of thinkers - from musicians/storytellers/illustrators/poets/geologists and representatives from the refugee council - they will come together to inform and inspire.

The journey will begin with a Big Draw event at the Pier Pavilion – you will equip you with paper and pens for your journey - to explore the things that unites us with every human being across the globe, the earth beneath our feet.

You will venture outside and draw a range of events all around you. When heading back to the gallery you will use clay to create objects used on a long journey across land and sea.

These soft clay objects will be pushed into the corner of two mobile walls to create, when the walls are removed, a collection of objects signifying identities, personal narratives that each child and family hold dear, contained/shaped by boundaries.

All work produced will form the Things We Share exhibit to remain at the Pier Pavilion until touring to Cardiff MADE as part of MadeinRoath festival on Wednesday, October 28.

Collaborators include: Bethan Frieze, violinist; Bevan Magama, storyteller and facilitator; Eric Ngalle Charles, poet; Claire Louise Prosser, artist; Imogen Higgins, sculptor; Heather Jackson, geologist and Chris Glynn, illustrator.

With thanks to graduates and undergraduates of CSAD Ceramics including Jennifer Hawthorn, Mikky Saunby, Charlotte Manser and Meg Beamish.

Beyond Borders will run at Penarth Pier Pavilion from October 1-6.
