Aur Bleddyn & Darya Williams 6.11.25 - 3.12.25

Sain Cofio is a digital living room, a living archive constructed from personal objects associated with memories of Wales from its diaspora, culminating in a shared experience of Welsh cultural memory and explored through live conversations between Darya and Aur. We meet here with a new object or memory throughout the residency, co-building a living room of our personal necessities for remembering and performing Wales from afar. You are invited for a paned or dishgled, to look through our archive, pick up a recipe, look at our performative books and eavesdrop as we discuss our relationship with Wales.

Beginning with an empty living room, we question what exists in the space between the places we’ve exiled to and Wales and how do we imagine Wales from outside. How are memories filling the gaps, and how can we capture this in a tangible way? Throughout the residency we will explore various objects in our surroundings, the mundane and the symbolic that hold personal significance to our experiences of the Welsh diaspora. We explore allegiances between our diverse understandings of Welshness, using personal archives and memories to unite our subjectivities. The personal archives hold anecdotes, humour, shared experiences and unexplainable irony, the present and past in a non linear space: diary pages, band merchandise, archived clips and family recipes.

Through live conversations we aim to revisit cultural markers and understand the objects from personal anecdotes, family connections and un-romanticised memories to question their significance to understand how we enact, remember, or perform our Welshness. As a digital space, this living room opens up the conversation to other Welsh diaspora, an invitation to explore multifaceted and diverse ideas of Welshness, fostering a shared space for reflection on cultural memory to create a living archive and resource from memory.

Darya and Aur met through Peak Cymru’s residency PEGWN - brought together to explore language and land, they found other overlapping experiences and interests grounded in Welsh identity. They are exploring ways of collaborating to develop their shared interest in Welsh cultural memory.

Aur is an Artist-Curator from mid Wales with an MA in Contemporary Curating from Manchester School of Art. Their research focuses on how collaborative curatorial methods can actively engage with cultural memory- focusing on interdisciplinary, participatory and durational techniques. They’re interested in creating spaces for this engagement with Welsh cultural memory, collaborating to reveal alternative narratives through the mundane and every-day rituals and re-imagining presupposed views of Welsh identity.

Darya Saoirse Williams is a spatial designer and MA Architecture student at the Royal College of Art. Originally from Aberdare and now based in London, her current work explores how cultural memory, language, and landscape can shape architectural intervention. She has explored alternative approaches to the remediation of post-industrial land through ritual, procession, and bilingual design methods. Drawing from her Welsh-Iranian heritage and architectural background, she develops participatory, place-based strategies that challenge extractive legacies and engage with ways of taking a measure of the land.

Esyllt Angharad Lewis & Carlota Sousa Nóbrega 2.11.25 - 30.11.25

In this digital residency, Esyllt Lewis and Carlota Sousa Nóbrega will give continuation to their ongoing collaboration, The Process.

Prompted by their shared curiosity about the act and performativity of making artwork, The Process is a set of nine steps, devised by the artists to lead them to the creation of work. By performing these steps, the artists test the boundaries between process and outcome, exploring the act of making art as artwork in itself.

These steps are simple, repeatable, and deliberately open-ended, designed to be revisited each time they come together. Until now, The Process has always taken place in person; however, in this digital residency, Carlota and Esyltt will enact it online for the first time - and you are invited to take part!

Over three weeks, the artists will meet online every Thursday (9th, 16th, and 23rd of November) to perform The Process with three guests. Through this exercise, the artists and their guests will explore meaningful ways of sharing ideas and creating work in a digital space, revealing how collaborative creativity can emerge beyond the studio. The meetings will be live streamed, offering audiences the chance to observe, reflect, and engage with the unfolding work in their own way.

The artifacts emerging from each meeting - sketches, notes, ideas and more - will be collected and compiled into a digital zine that will later be published alongside the meetings’ recordings on the Arcade Campfa’s website. Together, the recordings and zine will not only document the residency but also become part of the work itself, a living footprint of The Process that took place.

Ben Cones 18.12.24 - 31.12.24

The Digital Archive is the continuation of a project that explores the unchecked proliferation of artificial intelligence in today's society, through satirical commentary in graphic design and art I blur the lines between fiction and reality, highlighting the seemingly inevitable dystopian future we have in store.

The project envisions a museum's website as it might appear 40 years in the future. Visitors are invited to explore this platform, where a new ‘exhibition’ will be added to the ‘Events’ page each week for the duration of the residency.

Sophie Lindsey 2.9.24 - 19.9.24

my colleagues: an exploration of printers and work
For this online residency, Sophie is developing a new body of work called ‘my colleagues’; an exploration of our relationship with printers in the workplace.
Informed by the superstition that in order for printers to work reliably you need to be kind to them, Sophie will consider the role and agency of these overlooked electronic workers and the essential admin they perform. Through drawing on the conventions of affirmations, small talk, and office politics, ‘my colleagues’ will be an exploration of work, office culture, and the machine coworkers we sit side by side.

Sophie Lindsey is a Cardiff based artist who works across GIFs, performance, workshops, video, and public-space interventions. Through a visual art, curatorial and writing practice, Sophie creates projects that look to prioritise generosity, understanding, and fun!

Delphi Campbell & Mort Drew

Faggoting on the Radio
Faggoting on the Radio is a weekly radio show broadcast live from the artists bedrooms / kitchens / public parks / cafes, as they meet virtually and in person to knit together. Contact microphones attached to knitting needles are mixed alongside open microphones to gather the sounds of domestic and everyday space.

Broadcasting live once a week for 2 weeks during the residency with broadcast lasting around 2 hours. These broadcasts are available to listen to here alongside an IRC, inviting you to sit with us and meet in a web 1.0 style chat room, returning the online space as meeting place.

Delphi Campbell is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice is rooted in self-portraiture. The objects she produces map out each facet of her being, ranging from clinical diagnoses to favourite TV shows. Campbell’s practice reflects a life lived on an intersection; the raw and ravaging experiences of being a crippled, mad and queer woman alongside the unbridled joy and love that exists in these identities.

Mort Drew is a creative technician working on live audio broadcasts, anti-hierarchical sound systems, and installations. Their practice explores ephemerality, activist radio, grief and displacement. Their work appears as broadcasts, workshops, publications, sound devices and performances.

Cinzia Mutigli 4.5.24 - 31.5.24

Songs are a new strand of development in my practice. During the residency I’m testing unfinished works in progress in a series of experimental online presentations of a selection of songs with simple animations and integrated lyric texts. The subjects are interconnected across issues of mental health, violent politics, dream states and the socio-economics of place. The songs draw on my childhood experience of hymn singing and pop references. Across the next few weeks I’ll share mixes and remixes of these songs and images.

I am an artist, based in Cardiff working across film, audio, print, animation, performance and text. In my work I explore themes that layer and connect through the personal, social, spiritual and psychological. 

Current and recurring modalities, forms and motifs include (my) voice, popular cultural icons, wellness and self-care in a late capitalist / digital age context, and how the ‘individual’ connects with the ‘group’.

Aisha Ajnabi & Radha Patel 15.4.24 - 28.4.24

DARCH is the collaborative practise of Aisha Ajnabi (Umulkhayr Mohamed) and Radha Patel formed in March 2023, and a culmination of 6 years of work individually. As artists of colour, we wanted to take this as an opportunity to self-direct our creative practice and develop work we know is important, such as to support people to work through ancestral grief related to colonialism, displacement, capitalism / being poor, familial trauma, the environment. DARCH is grounded in finding creative ways to articulate care centered practices for people of colour, with a politic grounded in solidarity and liberation. DARCH overlaps shared elements of our practices namely rituals, shrine building, animism and ancestral honoring and relationships to land through sound work, conversations and storytelling. 

Our residency at ArcadeCampfa researches different cultural rituals that create containers of processing and validating colonial/ancestral grief and liberatory rage. Grief and rage, despite being characterized as unruly/undesirable emotions, are in fact indicators of health within a global structure of racial capitalism & cisheteronormative patriarchy, which shame us into disconnecting from our bodies in moments of intense feeling, as a way to position our bodies' intense capacity to feel, and are inherently unsafe and unproductive.

Through exploratory conversations and archival research, we'll create our own grief/rage ritual that explores the relationship between grief and rage, using vocal embodiment and sound as a healing entity. The ritual will center the experiences of both queer people of colour and the more than human, creating a container that holds a process of releasing misplaced shame that is connected to grief and rage and exploring how giving ourselves the space to feel grief and rage may bring about renewed connection to our liberation.

Kialy Tihngang 23.10.23 - 6.11.23

I'll be using my Digital Residency to present research for my recent body of work, Fetissoes, where I speculate that a group of enslaved African people jumped overboard their captors ship into the ocean and combine European maritime technology (the master’s tools) with fetishes (African religious objects with magical powers) to create tools to safely return home underwater.

My research crosses into modern and historic traditional African religious practice, European perceptions of African fetishes, the resultant Christianisation of former African colonies, the persistent, pernicious cultural impact of Christian mission work therein, and my own fraught relationship with Christianity as a colonial import. It will be presented in the form of imagined chain messages and memes. Updated daily, I will use primitive animation, gifs, and other vestiges of Web.0 to create these images, fabulating evidence of viral, colonial digital mission work.

Philippa Brown 9.10.23 - 20.10.23

During the residency with Arcadecampfa, I will be creating and posting a short film 'sketch' everyday for 12 days between 9th-20th October, a daily Horror-scape. I will use the platform to investigate lo-fi filming and editing, performance and sound through the lens of folk horror, psychedelia and oracles.  This may or may not add up to something at the end ><

Philippa makes sculptures and installations as a means to explore the ambiguous, magical and sometimes fragile interconnectedness between histories, materials, beliefs and bodies of all kinds.Nostalgia, subcultures and the occult are the portals through which I explore conformity and alternative ways of living. There is an undercurrent of humor that runs through my work with an ominous tension reflecting on the opposing forces, dark and joyful with human experience and nature.

Gweni Llwyd 15.9.23 - 29.9.23

I'm excited to be using the Arcade/Campfa digital residency space to build a bug. This bug may be an experimental multi-layered, digital Frankenstein, who will nest on the cargo site - sharing its secrets, stomach contents and multiplying itself. I aim to investigate ideas of 'bug' as an unexpected problem as well as insect, and how unexpected problems open up space for new ideas.

Owain Train McGilvary & Taluah Thomas 8.9.23 - 23.9.23

TriTRItri
TriTRItri, the word tri (3) repeated in different registers. This work is a kaleidoscopic exploration of queer imagery, sound and spoken word using The Three Crowns (a gay pub that was destroyed by fire in 2014) as it's springboard. The video is a result of various discussions and sharings between McGilvary and Thomas asking the question 'what's Cymraeg queerness anyway'?. 

Owain Train McGilvary
is an artist from Ynys Môn working with moving image, drawing, painting and collage that is anchored in collaboration. He is interested in modes of communication derived from popular culture and queer vernaculars, through investigating the subcultures that engage with them. Often guided by the tensions between fact and feelings, he devotes projects with people over long periods of time through building trusting relationships that continue beyond the legacy of the work.

Talulah
is a DJ, composer & writer from Llangollen. Previous work includes sound design with theatre company Nothing More To Say for ‘52 Monologues for Young Transsexuals’ at Vaults Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. They were also part of Peak Cymru’s ‘Pegwn’ programme alongside Dylan Huw and Llinos Anwyl, resulting in audio-visual work on the use of language as an artistic and political tool. Talulah’s sound work is rooted in collaboration, community-building & conversations around queerness.

As a collaborative, MASH uses an innovative approach to rethink materials to hand. This explorative way of making allows them to work directly with materials curiously in the moment, producing unknown outcomes. They describe their collaborative making process, simply, as a mashing of ideas, approaches and methods.
