Bright Lives - Alex Wharton

  • Hengwrt 8 Stryd Caerfyrddin (map)

Cyflwynir ‘Bright Lives’ gan y bardd a'r awdur Alex Wharton fel prosiect barddoniaeth pwerus sy'n dathlu bywydau naw ffigwr du hanesyddol a helpodd i lunio Cymru. Trwy gerddi byw, hygyrch, mae Wharton yn dod â'r straeon hyn sydd wedi'u hanwybyddu i'r goleuni, gan anrhydeddu unigolion y mae eu cyfraniadau wedi cael eu dileu yn rhy aml o hanes. Mae'r digwyddiad teimladwy a chadarnhaol hwn yn cyfuno barddoniaeth â hanes cymdeithasol, gan wahodd cynulleidfaoedd i fyfyrio ar hunaniaeth, perthyn a gorffennol amrywiol Cymru. Mae'r llyfr wedi'i anelu at oedolion ifanc ond bydd y sgwrs hon yn ysbrydoliaeth i bobl o bob oedran.

Poet and writer Alex Wharton presents Bright Lives, a powerful poetry project celebrating the lives of nine historic Black figures who helped shape Wales. Through vivid, accessible poems, Wharton brings these overlooked stories into the light, honouring individuals whose contributions have too often been erased from mainstream history. This moving and affirming event combines poetry with social history, inviting audiences to reflect on identity, belonging and Wales’s diverse past. The book is aimed at young adults, but this talk will be an inspiration to people of all ages.
