This exhibition was inspired by the Borderland Visual Arts Group's touring exhibition.  The first stop for the touring members (Gill Crozier, Joanne Dale, Stefanie Gundlach, Judith Harrison and Alison Holt) was right here. Mima curated a unique mix exclusive to Oriel Tŷ Meirion to incorporate the Borderland Visual Arts group in a one-off collaboration with local artists; artists in residence and Ukrainian  artists residing in the region (Alla Chakir and Roman Nedopoke).

 

Visitors dsicovered several twists and turns in this exhibition. Each artist was inspired by Wales and the Welsh landscape; but within these works there was a range of languages, cultures and interpretations to the theme.
