Come listen to Alix Edwards a multi-platform writer, artist and facilitator based in Cardiff.
She uses photography, painting, installation and spoken word to tell stories that would otherwise remain untold and to empower others to share their stories through their own creativity.
“I put people in touch with that creative ‘artist’s child’ part of themselves that gets lost in the struggles, work and disappointments of everyday life. Many people that I have helped have been made to feel that they can’t ‘do’ art or write from a very early age and I am passionate about proving to people that they can!“
Alix has exhibited in the UK, Barcelona and USA. She is part of the 2022-2023 cohort of writers Representing Wales funded by Literature Wales.
In 2018 she founded Company of Words literary events which holds on-line and live events in Cardiff. She facilitates creative projects in the community including the recent Treorchy Time Capsule project and an art group here in Pontypridd.
She is currently writing a poetry pamphlet entitled Changing The Locks – and will be reading from this today.
Trigger warning: domestic abuse.
Poets also on the bill are Patrick Jones, Mike MacNamara, Taz Rahman, clare e. potter, Nicholas McGaughey, Pete Akinwunmi & Rob Cullen. Start time will be 6.30.
