Ailddychmygu'r oriel — Utopias Bach - Revolution in Miniature

Ailddychmygu’r Oriel/Re-imagining the Gallery: Collaboratory @ Oriel Brondanw, Llanfrothen, Penrhyndeudraeth

Dydd Sadwrn, Mis Gorffenaf 23: Oriel Brondanw: 11 - 14.00 Saturday 23 July

Gwahoddir chi i Oriel Brondanw i ailddychmygu’r oriel / tŷ yma fel petai chi’n byw yma, neu fel petai’r tŷ yn berson, neu fel petai croeso i bob math o fodau ymweld ac ymgartrefu yma. Cyfle i ailystyried beth yw pwrpas a rôl lle fel hyn. Cyfle i fwynhau cacen, paned, gwisgo i fynnu, cambihafio, creu, a chael gweledigaeth o isymwybod Plas Brondanw.

Rhaglen o ryw fath:

11:00 – Cyrraedd, paned, cacen.

11:30 – Myfyrdod - ymdawelu ac ymgysylltu a’r lleoliad

12:00 – Archwilio’r tŷ, ymateb i wahoddiadau gosod yn unigol neu ar y cyd

1:00 – Cinio – bydd cawl figan di-glwten ar gael, neu dewch a picnic

1:30 - Dod at ein gilydd i drafod a dehongli, casglu ein ymatebion

2:00 – Gorffen

---------------------

You are invited to Oriel Brondanw to re-imagine this gallery / house as if you lived here, or as if the house was a person, or that all types of beings were welcome to visit and settle here. An opportunity to rethink the purpose and role of such a place. Enjoy a cake, a cup of tea, dress up, misbehave, create, and have a vision from the subconscious of Plas Brondanw.

Rough plan:

11:00 - Arrive, cuppa, cake.

11:30 – Grounding meditation

12:00 - Explore the house, respond to set invitations individually or collectively

1:00 – Lunch. A vegan, gluten free soup will be provided, or you can bring your own

1:30 - Get together for discussion and interpretation, gather our responses

2:00 - End

Guided imagination - re-imagining oriel brondanw

We started with about 16 of us doing this meditation, led by Samina Ali, including words sent by Gaia Redgrave from her virtual collaboration with Plas Brondanw.

There was also a recorded visualisations for those that missed the starting meditation

Drama

There was also some drama during the day, not least a lost-then-found mother. Perhaps this is what we should expect when we engage with the subconscious of a house like Plas Brondanw. Sarah Pogoda has written about it here (German).
