A REFLECTION ON STORM KITCHEN, AUTUMN 2020 Artis

A REFLECTION ON STORM KITCHEN, AUTUMN 2020

Artists-in-residence Beau W Beakhouse and Sadia Pineda Hameed reflect on their residency and on the Storm Kitchen series - you can see their ‘reclaim the waterway’ films as well as an accompanying reflective essay on
www.ahoiwhatgrows.com/residencies

"The Storm Kitchen series followed the journey of a repurposed narrowboat moving down the Mon & Brec canal - with talks taking place from the boat (& via zoom) in Brecon, Llangattock & finally Pontymoile Basin. We found that regardless of which talk it was, the same issues resurfaced.

As we wrote in our short essay, ‘colonialism and class do not disappear when considering food networks or long term environmental futures’. There is no neutral position on these issues, the maintenance of ‘neutral’ perpetuates the same past problems and so our approach to these issues must be intersectional, interlinked and mutually supportive.

These issues must be addressed, because they are at the centre of any potential transformation.

With thanks to Peak Cymru, @canalrivertrust , @celfcymruarts , curators Owen Griffiths and Stevie McKinnon-Smith, historian-in-residence Abu-Bakr Al Shabazz, and all the contributors, speakers and responders

- with care, Beau (@beauwbeakhouse ) and Sadia (@piffspice )"

We're busy pulling together our online gallery from last week's intensive Criw Celf workshops – ✨ link in bio to explore ✨ – which saw 15 young artists across South Powys working with guest artists inc. @judeprint @casey_bailey @melissa_rodrigues_art @_rhardygriffith @lucy__dickson //// Ewch i'n bio @peakcymru i grwydro oriel rithiol o weithdai Criw Celf wythnos dwetha, lle buodd 15 artist ifanc o Dde Powys yn gweithio gyda llu o artistiaid amrywiol 🎨

Look out at Peak's socials over the next few weeks as it develops – and we'll also be rolling out 'tele' workshops for other young people who'd like to have a go… //// Cadwch lygad ar gyfrifon Peak dros yr wythnosau nesa wrth i'r oriel ddatblygu – a byddwn hefyd yn rhannu gweithdau tele er mwyn i ystod ehangach o bobl ifanc allu cymryd rhan!

Diwrnod ola CRIW CELF De Powys heddiw // Final day

Diwrnod ola CRIW CELF De Powys heddiw // Final day of our intensive Criw Celf week today! ☹️💌

Today started with a printmaking session with Jude Lau from @theprinthaus, exploring printing & lettering – we'll be making large scale collaborative prints of all the work together for the group. This afternoon, with artist, musician & educator Gary-Martin Rolinson, we went on a digital trail to explore the work we've created throughout this week in new ways with a virtual gallery. We also collaborated on a task called ✨performance poetics✨ to code the writing from @casey_bailey's workshop into a publication for print. // Heddiw cafon weithdy printio gyda Jude o Printhaus, a thaith digidol gyda Gary-Martin Rolinson yn edrych 'nol arwaith yr wythnos, cyn cychwyn ar y broses o droi'r sgwennu o weithdy Casey Bailey mewn i gyhoeddiad print...

We're exploring ways to share these workshops more publicly, and will be publishing a series of workshops for all the sessions for other young people who might like to take part… // Byddwn yn rhannu'r gweithdai Criw Celf yn gyhoeddus rhywsut, i bobl ifanc eraill allu cymryd rhan… 👀

DAY 3 of our firebreak Criw Celf today // 3ydd diwrnod ein ysgol gelf dros-dro heddiw ✨

We had a focused day of workshops, which started with hearing about how @melissa_rodrigues_art's varied multidisciplinary practice illustrates themes of identity, race & culture, and making stencils & tote bags. Then we spent 2 hours with @lucy__dickson, who took us through pinch pots and coil building... And we also celebrated two 16th birthdays! // Diwrnod llawn gweithdai, gan ddechrau wrth glywed am bractis amrywiol Melissa Rodrigues a chreu tote bags. Yna cafon ddwy awr yng nghwmni Lucy Dickson – a ffeindio amser i ddathlu dau benblwydd yn 16!

Tomorrow's our final day, look out for more updates on story // Diwrnod ola fory, cadwch lygad ar ein stori ig ✨
