As part of its community engagement strategy for the Wales Broadcast Archive, the National Library of Wales has commissioned organisations and artists from across Wales to create new works inspired by the archive. Ranging from essays to digital art, these commissions highlight the creative potential of engaging with the archive’s rich audiovisual heritage.
Inclusive Journalism Cymru: Understanding Our Past to Know Our Present
In collaboration with the Wales Broadcast Archive, Inclusive Journalism Cymru commissioned three of its members to explore the archive and produce original work in response to their discoveries. Understanding Our Past to Know Our Present invited journalists from North, Mid, and South Wales to engage with historical broadcasts, using them as a lens to reflect on contemporary life in Wales.
Inclusive Journalism Cymru is a collaborative and participatory network open to anyone in Wales who feels their voice or community has been systemically underrepresented in the journalism industry. By providing spaces for connection, support, and learning, it enables marginalised journalists to share experiences, build networks, and contribute to a more inclusive and representative media landscape.
Disability Arts Cymru
In collaboration with the Wales Broadcast Archive, Disability Arts Cymru invited artists to explore the archive and create new digital artworks inspired by their discoveries. The Creative Clip Commission supported Disabled and Deaf artists to experiment with archive material, drawing connections between Wales’ broadcast history and the artists’ own lived experiences, communities, and creative practices.
Disability Arts Cymru’s vision is for a creative and equal Cymru where Disabled and Deaf people are crucial to the arts of our nation. They produce art that shares the lived experience of disability, develop Disabled and Deaf creative talent, and deliver Disability access and inclusion training. Their belief is that Disability arts should be given equal recognition within the arts, and that Disabled artists should have barrier-free access to opportunities.
