It is an expression of what can’t be said…

However, I have to find a way to say it as I am writing a Manifesto for Big Wave.

Manifesto: Big Wave Art Network of Creatives. 

 

We are the catalysts of change, the architects of innovation, and the champions of a new era where we make cool shit happen.

 

We declare our unwavering belief in the power of community to create, inspire, and enact change. 

 

We stand united in our belief in the transformative power of art and the creative energy that flows within our community. 

 

We want to stimulate and support a vibrant artistic movement in Coastal Ceredigion to create a rich ensemble of diverse voices. 

 

Through our workshops, festivals, happenings, and experimental events, we create platforms for dialogue and creativity that amplify the voices of LGBTQ+ individuals, celebrate the resilience of crip artists, honour the perspectives of the global majority, and welcome the narratives of refugees. 

 

We believe that the fusion of these diverse experiences with Welsh culture will not only enhance our artistic landscape but also foster understanding, empathy, and solidarity within our community as we all voyage into the future of global climate change.

 

We envision a future where art transcends boundaries, where the stories, experiences, and talents of all individuals are celebrated and integrated into the cultural fabric of our region. 

 

We stand firm in our commitment to ensure that Welsh culture is enriched and transformed by the contributions of those who have often been marginalised. In this collaboration, we find strength, innovation, and the spirit of true inclusivity.

 

We in Coastal Ceredigion, while navigating socio-economic challenges, know this is a fertile ground for creativity. 

 

We pledge to support and empower artists from all walks of life, ensuring their unique contributions are recognised, valued, and celebrated. 

 

We, together, will cultivate a future where the rich diversity of our community informs and enriches our culture, creating a dynamic and inclusive arts scene that reflects our world.

 

Big Wave brings Art, Artist and Audience together in coastal Ceredigion. Join us, fellow creators, advocates, and allies, to create a cultural movement that celebrates our humanity. Together, let’s weave a narrative where art is a vibrant tapestry of diversity, resilience, and creativity.

I’ve put it together in Welsh too but I am going to show it to a proper welsh speaker before it appears here!
