Wrexham: Becoming the City
2026-05-01 18:30 - 20:30
An evening in the company of Sara Erddig to celebrate the publication of her new book, Real Wrexham: Becoming the City.

Event organised by Ystafell Wrecsam.
FREE – no need to book!
In Real Wrexham: Becoming the City local writer Sara Erddig explores the melting pot of communities, cultures and histories which make Wrexham what it is today.
This place has seen a lot of change since Grahame Davies wrote the first Real Wrexham in 2007, not least the Hollywood takeover of its football club. Sara’s illustrated, offbeat guide brings the story right up to date, presenting Wrexham through her eyes.
Taking in everything from its industrial past to its thriving arts scene, from Wrexham the town to Wrexham the city (as the county became in 2022), she’s out on the ground celebrating Wrexham in its city ‘era’, and as you’ve never seen it before.

Bridges of Voices by Mariia Samoilenko
2026-04-24 18:30 - 21:00
How do artists find their voice in times of crisis?
(scroll down for Ukrainian text)
Join Wrexham-based new writing theatre company Dirty Protest Theatre for an evening of live performance, bringing together invited artists and friends of the company, voices and stories across cultures, exploring themes of migration, belonging, and survival in times of crisis.
The evening includes a curated programme of invited artists and friends of the company, culminating in a solo presentation of “Bridges of Voices” by Mariia Samoilenko.
The programme includes music, storytelling and performances in Ukrainian, Welsh, Danish and English, creating a shared space for cultural exchange.
The evening culminates in “Bridges of Voices”, a solo performance by Ukrainian actor and author Mariia Samoilenko, developed as part of her independently led R&D project supported by the Nordic Culture Fund (NEMO) and partner arts councils.
The presentation takes the form of a script-in-hand development performance, followed by a discussion on the role of the artist’s voice in times of crisis.
Mariia Samoilenko is a Ukrainian theatre and film actor and creator originally from Kyiv, currently based in Denmark, where she has continued her artistic practice since 2022. Since the beginning of the full-scale war, her work has included theatre projects in Denmark, Sweden, and Germany, as well as concert performances across different regions of Denmark.
Working across cultures, her practice combines original text, music, and embodied storytelling.
“Bridges of Voices” is a musical-poetic solo performance that reflects on the formation and transformation of an artist’s voice in today’s world. Moving between personal and collective memory, the work asks: who is the artist today, what drives them to take the stage, and how can one find and reclaim their voice in a reality shaped by war and uncertainty.
Through voice, body, and presence, the monologue listens to reality and transforms it into form. Songs and original text create a unique space where inherited voices, personal experience, and contemporary events intertwine—inviting the audience to empathize and pose their own questions.

Як митці знаходять свій голос у часи кризи?
Запрошуємо доєднатися до театральної компанії сучасної драматургії Dirty Protest Theatre (м. Рексем) на вечір живих виступів, що об’єднує запрошених митців і друзів компанії, голоси та історії різних культур у дослідженні тем міграції, приналежності та виживання в часи кризи.
У програмі представлені музика, оповіді та виступи українською, валлійською, данською та англійською мовами, що створюють спільний простір культурного обміну.
Вечір завершується “Bridges of Voices” — сольним перформансом української акторки та авторки Марії Самойленко, створеним у межах її незалежно реалізованого R&D-проєкту за підтримки Nordic Culture Fund (NEMO) та партнерських мистецьких рад.
Показ відбувається у формі девелопмент-перформансу зі сценарієм “з аркуша”, після якого відбудеться обговорення на тему ролі голосу митця в часи кризи.
Марія Самойленко — українська театральна та кіноакторка й мисткиня, родом із Києва, яка наразі базується в Данії, де продовжує свою мистецьку діяльність з 2022 року. Від початку повномасштабної війни її робота включає театральні проєкти в Данії, Швеції та Німеччині, а також концертні виступи в різних регіонах Данії.
Працюючи на перетині культур, її практика поєднує авторський текст, музику та тілесне оповідання.
“Bridges of Voices” — музично-поетичний сольний перформанс, що осмислює формування та трансформацію голосу митця в сучасному світі. Переміщуючись між особистою та колективною пам’яттю, робота ставить питання: ким є митець сьогодні, що спонукає його виходити на сцену і як можна знайти та повернути свій голос у реальності, сформованій війною та невизначеністю.
Через голос, тіло та присутність монолог слухає реальність і перетворює її на форму. Пісні та авторський текст створюють унікальний простір, у якому переплітаються успадковані голоси, особистий досвід і сучасні події — запрошуючи глядача до емпатії та власних роздумів.

Exhibition: Effaith - Disability Arts Cymru National Touring Exhibition (2025–26)
2026-04-18 - 2026-06-27
Effaith is an exhibition showcasing disabled perspectives on one of the most urgent issues of our time: the climate crisis. Following an open call, selected disabled, d/Deaf and neurodivergent artists have responded to themes of nature, landscape and climate justice through the lens of disability.
The exhibition also showcases two commissions created as part of the Effaith project, one in partnership with Amgueddfa Cymru and one in partnership with Corsydd Calon Môn.
The commission with Amgueddfa Cymru is supported through CELF, the national contemporary art gallery of Wales initiative that fosters pathways for communities to engage with Wales’ art collection. This commission created an opportunity for the artist to respond to the Effaith theme and the National Collection at Amgueddfa Cymru. Kathryn Ashill was awarded this commission and has created work exploring the disabled body and its relationship to natural bodies of water.
Corsydd Calon Môn’s commission highlights the uniqueness and vulnerability of the Anglesey fens. Funded through the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Corsydd Calon Môn is a collaborative project that seeks to secure the future of the Anglesey Fens whilst celebrating their rich culture and heritage. The project raises awareness of the importance of the fens for people, for nature, and for fighting climate change. Catherine Taylor Parry was awarded the commission and has created work responding to the richness of the environment and reflecting on the fen as a natural record of time.
From February 2026 to March 2027, Effaith will tour across Wales to five leading galleries: Galeri, Caernarfon; Tŷ Pawb, Wrexham; g39 Cardiff; The Riverfront, Newport; and Aberystwyth Arts Centre, Aberystwyth. The exhibition opens at Galeri, Caernarfon with a launch event on Friday 6 February.
Selected artists:
Adele Vye, Alison Robertson, Bev Bell Hughes, Beverly Marmont-Hill, Catherine Taylor Parry, Catrin Gwilym, Cerian Lloyd, Cheryl Beer, Dea Neile-Hopton, Durre Shahwar, Eileen Harrisson, Emma Frayne-Ford, Grant Lambie, Jane Campbell, Jamie Lawrence, Jill Powell, Kathryn Ashill, Linda and Bethany Sutton, Mars da Silva Saude, Polly Hill, Rhowan Alleyne on behalf of Ceredigion Animation Club, Rohan Powell, Sally Pearce, Tracey McMaster
With thanks to DAC Artist Booker T Photography, who creates inclusive artwork by making 3D tactile photo relief prints from 2D images. Booker has made 3D tactile relief prints for each piece of artwork in DAC’s National Touring Exhibition, Effaith, making the work accessible through touch.

Exhibition: Darch - You Have Done This Before
2026-04-18 - 2026-06-27
You Have Done This Before is an interactive installation and two-channel film exploring young people’s connections to nature through coming-of-age rituals.
Developed by DARCH – disabled Welsh artists Umulkhayr Mohamed and Radha Patel – the work draws on Somali, Indian and Welsh cultural lineages to create new rituals that honour the full personhood of children. Developed through workshops with young people in Wrexham, the project invites visitors to reflect on youth, lost wisdom and what it means to inherit a world shaped by climate crisis.
