It’s Probably Whatever You Think It Is - Dina Kelberman
It’s Probably Whatever You Think It Is is an experimental streaming series in which Dina edits her residency page on the gallery website live as viewers watch. She uploads images, draws on the page, types text, and generally experiments with the capabilities of the Cargo website editor. The stream is accompanied by a soundtrack of minimalist synthesizers that she is trying to learn how to use and samples of her two-year-old child who she is trying to learn how to raise. Hopefully it’s not a giant disaster.
Dina Kelberman is a multi-media artist who explores human nature through found digital media. Her accumulations create monuments to our pervasive need to connect, create, and destroy. She has created web-based pieces for the New Museum and Marina Abramovic Institute and exhibits internationally. Her work has been written about by The New York Times, Art21, NPR, art theory books and textbooks. In 2019 she completed her first feature-length recontextualization film, The Goal Is To Live and in 2020 she created an entirely new person. She is currently engaged in a long-term residency with Fotomuseum Wintherthur, Switzerland in advance of the exhibition Lure of the Image in 2024.

Come to Sunny Prestatyn
Dominic Allan, Nicola Bealing, Nick Davies, Steven Emmanuel, Rosie Gibbens, Thomas Goddard, Rebecca Gould, Ellie Hoskins, Cinzia Mutigli, Georgia Neilson, Sam Venables, Sue Williams
This is not an exhibition about Prestatyn, but about the disturbing poem Sunny Prestatyn and its problematic poet Philip Larkin. It describes a poster of a girl saying “Come to Sunny Prestatyn” and its eventual decline into debauched defacements and erasure on a train station platform. Written 60 years ago, the poem touches on issues still relevant today, such as women's safety, toxic masculinity, the affects of advertising, and the potentially violent feelings of those left without a voice.

Louise Bristow, James Cobb, Sarah Hardacre, André Stitt, Ally Wallace
Curated by André Stitt ‘Brute Force + Militant Sunshine’ explores the legacy of militant modernism and its built environments through the medium of print, collage, object & film. The exhibition considers this legacy as a visionary and utopian embodiment of progressive civic, municipal, and social change through reactivation, glamour, otherworldliness, feminist critique, masculine liminality, fluid identities and discreet melancholy.

Mapping Workshops - March 2022
During March 2022 ArcadeCampfa was host to a series of workshops around the subject of mapping.
Deborah Aguirre Jones
12.3.22
An afternoon of different cartographies; pinning tails on donkeys, dot-to-dot drawing, dowsing and other inaccurate mark-making.
We are inviting a small group of friends and acquaintances to spend time with us in ArcadeCampfa, sharing ideas and viewpoints about where we are and where we’re going.
Deborah Aguirre Jones is a socially engaged artist who works with performance, dialogue, sculpture and other forms, setting up situations for encounters and conversations.
Addressing experiences of territory, home and un-belonging by looking at our relationships with public places, with each other and with the outdoors, she works in a wide range of contexts including landscape management, health and social care, the justice system, community /neighbourhood changes, early years’ pedagogy, the construction industry, leisure and tourism. Longer projects are collaborations with people who are not trained as artists.

Several artists and members of Arcade Campfa will gather for a walk, some listening, some mapping and some imagining.
For this workshop Jo will host a city centre walk. It’s about how we live and how we connect with the city of Cardiff. Arcade Campfa’s home has been in Queens Arcade for 12 Years, at some point in the near future it will be demolished for a new shopping centre. Where to be?
Jo lives in Cardiff and her creative work reflects the need in these times for people to come together. Her artistic practice is an evolving, collaborative approach which puts ideas around belonging or forming community in the forefront.

Dreaming of an Artist's Space
What are the ingredients of this dream?
Artists are being priced out and pushed out of city centres across the UK. Whether it is in London or Cardiff, this is an occurring narrative. Empty high street shops, dormant shopping centres, and derelict office blocks could be transformed into artists' studios and galleries to bring life back to city centres.
ArcadeCampfa is based in a shopping centre, but the space is provisional. What could a dream artist's space look and feel like to inhabit? Maybe we can only dream, for now, so let's dream together!
Create a folded 8-page zine that explores and maps the ideal artist's space. Each zine will have prompts and be unique to its creator.

familiar falls
Curated by Rosie Harman
familiar falls brings together a group of ceramic artists whose work probes at our associations with the ordinary. Ceramics is indelibly linked to the everyday - the mug we drink from, the toilet we sit on and the bricks all around us. Yet, the infinite material possibilities of clay, glaze and colour provide a palette for language and metaphor. Through the guise of familiarity these artists undo the banal and play with its boundaries. They disrupt, dissolve and provoke new ways of seeing. They express the personal and scratch at the dichotomy between human, objects and our place in the world. While simultaneously patching it back together again, and serving you tea from it.

it resonates like spalting wood - Beau W Beakhouse and Sadia Pineda Hameed
For their first solo show as a collaborative duo, Beau W Beakhouse and Sadia Pineda Hameed organise, enact and reiterate spaces for interpersonal communication and speculation. The installation it resonates like spalting wood comprises tools for a mode of dialogue that attempts to exist outside colonial space; prioritising tactile and latent ways of speaking, sharing and planning. This new body of work envisions the materials, means and possibilities of dialogue through traditional green woodwork, markings and enactment; resonant objects that share an unfamiliar, utopic green glow.
