Meet our Photography Session Lead for Angles to Memory, Bello , a seasoned photographer 📸🎞️🤳📽️

Omolara has contributed so much to the community, capturing beautiful moments and creating defining memories across events and private shoots. Omolara Bello joins us for the Roots in Rhythm Cymru Final Showcase on 25 August.

We’re so excited to have her bring her passion for heritage photography and still-life capturing to this special celebration.

Our summer collaboration with Youth4Change Wales witnessed an intergenerational discussion on the changing dynamics of “Play/Games”. It was a great opportunity for seniors to share memories of cultural/creative play and games.

It was also a good time for our young people to set aside their gadgets and learn some traditional games. Having the children immerse themselves in the process and master traditional wood, seed, and card games was truly commendable.

We are excited about how our summer of cultural pride and heritage has taken our young people across diverse forms of traditional arts and creativity.

HERITAGE ROOTS SOLVING MODERN PROBLEMS; PITCH YOUR IDEA! 🎤🔥🎤

One of the greatest rewards of working with young creative minds is the split seconds and defining moments when they finally break through with a laudable idea. We witnessed similar moments with the young attendees at the C3 Centre for Creativity and Culture CIC and the Youth4Change Wales collaborative summer project “Roots in Rhythms”.

The “Pitch a Heritage Idea” Session encouraged young people to use heritage ideas to solve modern problems and to present a hypothetical pitch to a panel. The level of humour and brilliance in the presentation, and the genius of the ideas, were mind-blowing.

We appreciate all the observing parents and the many youths who turned out for this.

Our Karaokee and Sing-along session for children was an experimental delivery, one we intend to explore more on our new children’s project.

We are happy that the Roots in Rhythm Collaboration with Wales created a platform to explore just how children welcome sing-along activities.

It is still summer of fun activities and we are engaging our community at intergenerational levels. There is enough creative and cultural fun and activities for each age group. Special thanks to all the volunteers, participants, vendors, facilitators and partners making this happen.

One of our Summer outdoor activities took place right at the beach in the Swansea summer sun! Movement by the beach with musical accompaniment was an opportunity for family bonding and youth networking. This beautiful collaboration with has delivered very engaging and immersive summer experiences.

Special appreciation to all the young people and families who showed up. Our C3 Centre Summer of Fun has been truly fun. We invite our community to our upcoming events.

Culture can also be seen and felt through the intangible piece of arts and aesthetics. Stenciling culture for us at C3 was a deliberate mapping of heritage designs on patterned Ankara canvas.

These layers of colours and shapes on patterns of Ankara colours was a double layer of fun. We appreciate all our summer facilitators and young people who keep showing up for our summer collaboration with Youth4Change Wales.

Watch this space for more sessions.

This summer, our young people and families are having conversations around heritage and culture while having a summer of fun.

Enjoy the lovely shots from our beautiful collaboration with Youth4Change Wales.

The beauty of collaboration lies in the harmonisation of ideas and the willingness of all parties involved to bring their best foot forward. The C3 Centre for Creativity and Culture CIC concluded yet another strategy meeting for our Annual year-end Christmas event.

Watch this space for the roll-out of the beauty that we are creating with the larger National Wales Museum through the National Waterfront Museum. As we inch closer to the Yuletide season and the -ember months, we bring you a confetti of creative and heritage offerings.

Keep a close watch across our handles.
