Ein Bro, Cyd-fyw â’r Tir / Y Tir yn ‘Estron’ | We live with the land / The Land as Other is a multi-disciplinary art exploration that invited artists whose work responded to the history/story of the land, language and land, a sense of place, the environmental and rewilding movements or the positioning of land by outsiders as other – a visual / playground commodity (tourism) in Wales.
This project, funded by the Joy Welsh foundation and supported by the School of Art Aberystwyth University, invited Wales-based artists and writers to respond to ‘the land’. All the artists involved were working on land based or environmental projects or visualising the landscape. The project was framed within the theories of environmental theorists, Anne Whiston Spirn and Val Plumwood, who argue that by listening and acknowledging the land’s agency we (humans) can provide a new way to interrogate land’s current and historical usage.
