Cymru & I

  • Horeb Chapel 70 Rhosmaen Street Llandeilo, Wales, SA19 6EN United Kingdom (map)

£6
Sponsored by / Noddir gan Inclusive Journalism Cymru and Seren Publishing.

Shirish Kulkarni, founder of Inclusive Journalism Cymru, will host readings and conversation with three of the writers: Tia-zakura Camilleri, Alys Roberts and Anthony Shapland. Together they’ll explore what being part of Cymru & I meant for them, and what the book tells us about Wales now, and in the future.

Cymru & I is a collection of essays about Wales and the many different kinds of Welshness it encompasses. The collaboration between Inclusive Journalism Cymru and Seren sets out to reflect and represent stories that are often overlooked or unheard. It encompasses essays on identity, integration, the power of language to welcome or divide, acceptance, personal aspiration, civic decline and hill walking.

Among the contributors are those who have sought sanctuary and space in Wales: immigrants – current and first or second generation – neurodivergent, LGBTQ+ and working class people. Together, their work embraces the complexities of identity rather than reducing the world to stereotypes or caricature.

Bydd Shirish Kulkarni, sylfaenydd Inclusive Journalism Cymru, yn cynnal darlleniadau a sgwrs gyda thri o’r awduron: Tia-zakura Camilleri, Alys Roberts ac Anthony Shapland. Gyda’i gilydd byddant yn archwilio beth oedd bod yn rhan o Cymru & I yn ei olygu iddyn nhw, a beth mae’r llyfr yn ei ddweud wrthym am Gymru nawr, ac yn y dyfodol.

Casgliad o draethodau am Gymru a sut mae diffinio Cymreictod. Bwriedir y berthynas cydweithio rhwng ‘Inclusive Journalism Cymru’ a ‘Seren’ i adlewyrchu a chynrychioli storïau sydd yn aml yn cael eu hanwybyddu. Gwelir traethodau wedi’u cwmpasu am hunaniaeth, integreiddiad, pŵer yr iaith i groesawu neu wahanu, derbyn, dyhead personol, dirywiad dinesig a cherdded mynyddoedd. 

Ymysg y cyfranwyr, mae rhai wedi chwilio am noddfa yng Nghymru : mewnfudwyr - o bob cenhedlaeth, niwroddargyfeiriol, LDHTC+ a phobl dosbarth gweithiol. Gyda’i gilydd, mae eu gwaith yn cofleidio’r cymhlethdod hunaniaeth, yn hytrach na chanolbwyntio ar ystrydebau na gwawdluniau.
