MURMUR: The Inbetween – Writing Workshop
What are the stories between places?
Inspired by the work of Anthony Shapland, we will walk through the exhibition and take inspiration from Shapland’s use of in-between places. The Sunrise and Sunsets and the stories that emerge in twilight. This workshop is a space to slow down, look closer and find meaning in the things that often go unseen.
This session is open to young people16 – 25. Under 18s will need a parent to provide emergency contact details on arrival. Our writing tasks will be inclusive and accessible for all levels.
What to bring:
You can expect a guided creative writing session, with gentle prompts and inspiration. Please bring whatever you feel comfortable writing with (pen, notebook, phone, laptop etc.) and a drink. There will be a short comfort break in the middle and you are welcome to take a break anytime you need during the session.
Language:
The sessions will predominantly be held in English, using everyday Welsh but participants are welcome to write and take part in any language they are comfortable using.
Access:
This workshop is located on the groundfloor. There is a ‘Changing Places’ accessible toilet on site. Free parking for blue badge holders is available in our multistorey carpark. If you have any additional access needs, please email teampawb@wrexham ahead of the session.

Composing Belonging
2026-08-15 14:30 - 17:00
Composing Belonging returns to Wrexfest this August following a hugely successful debut earlier this year
Originally created as a one-night-only performance, the project returns after its first sharing received such a positive response from audiences that the artists wanted to continue the collaboration and develop the work further.
This year’s performance brings together SERA, Ayoub Boukhalfa, Yasmine Latkowski and the full Panedeni ensemble for an afternoon of original music, collaboration and conversation.
At the heart of the project is a shared exploration of identity, language, heritage and belonging. Drawing on Welsh and Arabic musical traditions, the artists combine original songwriting with diverse musical influences to create new work rooted in their own lived experiences.
Joining the project this year is Panedeni, whose debut EP Atamanaa was released earlier this summer. Led by Yasmine Latkowski, the North Wales-based ensemble blends Arabic and Welsh musical traditions through original compositions and reimagined folk styles, featuring oud, Welsh border pipes, violin, guitar, clarinet, flutes, Egyptian percussion, bass and vocals performed across four languages.
Alongside music from Panedeni’s new EP, audiences will hear original collaborative works developed through the Composing Belonging project, individual performances from the featured artists, and hear the stories behind the music.
More than a concert, Composing Belonging offers an opportunity to experience how music can bring together different traditions, languages and perspectives through collaboration.
Everyone is welcome.
Tŷ Pawb, Wrexham | Saturday 15th August |
3pm (doors 2.30pm).

Murmur: Gweithdy Ffilmiau Barddoniaeth
Wedi’i ysbrydoli gan arddangosfa Murmurs Anthony Shapland yn Tŷ Pawb, mae’r sesiwn ysgrifennu creadigol a gwneud ffilmiau hon yn gwahodd pobl ifanc ac oedolion ifanc i archwilio barddoniaeth trwy ddelwedd, sain a symudiad, gan gyfuno geiriau, delweddau a pherfformiad. Gan gael ein cerddi oddi ar y dudalen ac i’n llais, byddwn yn creu barddoniaeth fer neu ryddiaith wedi’i hysbrydoli gan yr arddangosfa ac yn adrodd straeon mewn ffyrdd newydd a chyffrous. Gan gydweithio i greu Ffilmiau Barddoniaeth byr sy’n dod â’n geiriau’n fyw.

Bydd egwyl fer yng nghanol y sesiwn, ac mae croeso i chi gymryd egwyl unrhyw bryd y mae ei angen arnoch yn ystod y sesiwn.
Iaith:
Cynhelir y sesiynau yn bennaf yn Saesneg, gan ddefnyddio Cymraeg bob dydd, ond mae croeso i gyfranogwyr ysgrifennu a chymryd rhan yn yr iaith y maent yn gyfforddus yn ei defnyddio.
