☂️Cardiff Umbrella joins more than 1,400 LGBTQIA+ individuals and organisations from around the world, including artists and representatives from political parties, universities, schools, unions, and medical bodies, among others, in standing up "in solidarity with the P@lestinian liberation movement", urging all governments "to demand an immediate ceasefire and to restore aid into G@za through any possible routes" and "an end to the occupation of P@lestine".

We believe that standing in solidarity with P@lestine is a q***r issue. We stand by our statement and with freedom from oppression and cOlonialism for all. Comments of these post are turned off as the collective wellbeing of our P@lestinian members and those affected are crucial.

🐺 Penblaidd Village Council invites you to their annual Country Fair, hosted this year by Cardiff Umbrella ☂️

This year boasts a handsome array of fine arts and crafts (and we promise that, unlike last year, all loose mice will now be removed from the premises and unable to nibble the artworks)

Opening night is THIS FRIDAY from 6pm - 8pm 🎃 Please join us to find out who’s won the coveted ‘Penblaidd Prize’ 🏆 for best in show. (There will also be certificates for other categories; most horrific, most dangerous, most moist etc.)

Then following, Umbrella is open 11am - 4pm Wednesday to Saturdays, until November 11th. We can’t wait to see you there! (But by request, John asks no ferrets to be brought on site this year on account of his pending lawsuit)🥕

☂️OPEN CALL🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

The village of Penblaidd have asked Cardiff Umbrella if we’d host their country fair this year! Unfortunately Fern Hammock burnt down the community centre this summer after ‘Toast Week’ and it’s still being rebuilt, so we’re happy to help.

To keep it simple, the judges have decided to trim the show to 6 categories:

- Giant and/or unusual vegetables
- Pies, cakes, scones and conjuration
- Dead pet portrait
- Themed decorative hats
- Rabbits
- Anything pickled.

We’re pleased to welcome everyone and everything to submit; you may enter work of any variety/medium/size/smell (as long as it adheres to the laws of gravity, your work will be in the show).

Please email Penblaidd Council or [email protected] with a picture (or conceptual description) of the work. You are welcome to submit to more than one category. Deadline for submission is 22nd October at 8ish. Maybe 9.00pm, depending on Gwyn’s availability. Awards will be presented on opening night🏆

🏙️ TOMORROW! Concrete Concepts

This group came together through painting on the street; forging connections that have developed over the past decade. As well as being visual artists there are crossovers into the other elements of hip-hop culture: djing, mcing and breakin'. These forms of artistic expression are both social and physical, contributing to their collective mental well-being.

Bringing the paint indoors and welcoming a different community to a gallery space, Concrete Concepts challenges what it is to be an artist working outside of conventional venues.

—🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿—

🏙️ YFORY! Concrete Concepts

Daeth y grŵp hwn at ei gilydd drwy baentio ar y stryd; gan greu cysylltiadau sydd wedi datblygu dros y degawd diwethaf. Yn ogystal â bod yn artistiaid gweledol, mae yna groesi i elfennau eraill diwylliant hip-hop: djing, mcing a breakin'. Mae'r ffurfiau hyn o fynegiant artistig yn gymdeithasol a chorfforol, gan gyfrannu at eu lles meddyliol ar y cyd.

Gan ddod â'r paent dan do a chroesawu cymuned wahanol i ofod oriel, mae Concrete Concepts yn herio'r hyn ydyw i fod yn artist sy'n gweithio y tu allan i leoliadau confensiynol.

We are blessed to bring you ‘Carry On Up The Valleys’ from SPAF collective; our heroes in hand-sewn capes. This exhibition comes following the group’s recent residency in Umbrella HQ☂️

“SPAF Collective are a Cardiff-based Q***r Welsh Arts Collective comprising of Reg Arthur (Hunk Williams), Kazimir Redraven (Khazi), Aneurin Hughes (Haunted House Jones), and Tom Campbell (Tom). We make badges, zines, stickers, and prints collaboratively. Individually, we adopt varied approaches to making work and so essentially – we are up for anything.

We have a commitment to accessibility and community; adopting a DIY approach to making and producing art in the hopes of bypassing beaurocracy and making our work as affordable as possible. We aim to preserve and document outdated, obscure and unofficial folk history with a focus on authenticity and collaboration (both within our collective and wider communities).”

The show is open Thursday - Sundays, 11am to 4pm until 23rd July. We will be releasing a date to celebrate the exhibition’s arrival, and will be sharing the groups work behind the scenes 💙

Cawn ein bendithio i ddod â chi 'Carry On Up The Valleys' o gydweithfa SPAF; ein harwyr mewn capiau wedi'u gwnïo â llaw. Daw'r arddangosfa hon yn dilyn preswyliad diweddar y grŵp yn Umbrella ☂️

“Mae cydweithfa SPAF a leolir yng Nghaerdydd yn Gydweithfa Celfyddydau Cwir Cymraeg sy’n cynnwys Reg Arthur (Hunk Williams), Kazimir Redraven (Khazi), Aneurin Hughes (Haunted House Jones), ac Tom Campbell (Tom). Rydym yn creu bathodynnau, sîniau, sticeri ag prints gydia’n gilydd. Yn unigol rydym wedi ymdopi dulliau amrywiol tuag at greu gwaith ac felly rydym yn fwy ne lai lan am unrhywbeth.

Mae gennym ymrwymiad tuag at hygyrchedd a chymuned; yn mabwysiadu dull DIY i greu celf mewn gobaith osgoi biwrocratiaeth ac yn gwneud ein gwaith mor fforddiadwy â phosib. Rydym yn anelu at cadwoli a thystio hanes sydd wedi goroedi, sydd yn aneglur ac answyddogol efo ffocws ar ddilysrwydd a chydweithio (tu fewn ein cydweithfa a ty hwnt mewn cymunedau pellach).”

This exhibition is platforming the work of Iranian & Welsh/Wales-based artists that explore the strength and power of women. Depicting women’s fight for equality, political struggle and feminism, the work is not only a call for change but an expression of joy and pride.

The term 'Woman Life Freedom' originated from Jin Jiyan Azadi, not only a slogan but a philosophy of the Kurdistan Workers Party. 1000’s of women have been martyred fighting facism and creating new ways of living that safeguard women, children and the environment.

Join us this evening as we celebrate with a community of inspiring people sharing their experiences and stories.

Mae'r arddangosfa yma yn llwyfannu gwaith artistiaid Iranaidd a Chymraeg/lleolir yng Nghymru sydd yn archwilio'r nerth a phŵer o fenywod. Trwy lunio brwydr menywod am gydraddoldeb, ymdrechion gwleidyddol a ffeministiaeth, nid ond galwad am newid yw'r gwaith ond mynegiant o lawenydd a balchder.

Mae 'Women Life Freedom' yn dod yn wreiddiol o Jin Jiyan Azadi, nid ond slogan ond athroniaeth o'r Parti Gweithwyr Kurdistan. Cafodd miloedd o fenywod merthyru dros ymladd ffasgaeth a chreu modd newydd o fyw sydd yn diogelu menywod, plant ac yr amgylchedd.

🪡 WE’RE BACK! The fabulous will be running her regular sewing social with us every other Tuesday again, starting from tonight!

Put on your coat and pop down to between 5-7pm to do some embroidery and make a mini banner!

The history of banner making is one rooted deeply in the working class and marginalised groups.  Whether it was the iconic banners of G**s and Le****ns supporting miners, the intricately made banners of the Womens rights movements or the bold imagery of the civil rights movement. At the heart of the practice is the stories of unions, communities and the working/oppressed classes making art with the philosophy of collective activism for social change.

Basic materials will be provided and this workshop will be a pay what you can system. You are welcome to bring your own fabric, embroidery hoop or stitching materials 🧵
