October highlights

  • Published:

Our gallery programme brings you Sophie Mak Schram & collaborators: To Shift A Stone, a two-part exhibition exploring how power is experienced, shared and challenged. The accompanying Held Fast: Running Club turns running into a creative act of connection. Plus, from 24 October, we’ll be showing the work of Sancintya Mohini Simpson for Artes Mundi 11, presented in partnership with the Bagri Foundation.

On stage, Andre Stitt: The Institution (Revisited) explores memory and its failures, SERAFINE1369: (my body / running wild / this animal) glorious turns dance into a ritual of presence and shared experience, and Performance Art Land brings site-based performance works from natural and heritage sites to the screen.

In our cinema, Watch Africa: Manyatta presents a genre-hopping shorts programme from Africa exploring identity and desire, the BFI London Film Festival lights up our screens with the best of world cinema, and the Iris Prize LGBTQ+ Film Festival once again celebrates global stories and Cardiff charm.

We also invite you to Garth Evans: A Place in the World – a special event at YMa in Pontypridd reflecting on how art shapes memory, legacy and belonging.
