A first for the Heritage Centre

Throughout November til December 7th 2024

Visitors to the gallery throughout November will be immersed in a sonic and visual experience achieved through the use of headsets as they are taken on a multisensory journey through the enchanting hills of Maldwyn and the mid Wales countryside.

Artist, Erin Hughes has collaborated with the Will Barnes Quartet to provide this multi-faceted experience where her work, showcasing her remarkable talent using original, marble paper to produce collages inspired by nature and the Quartet’s latest album “Source of the Severn”, results in the vibrant exhibition entitled ‘Where We Are”.

Erin lives and works in mid Wales having studied at the Ruskin School of Art at Oxford University and received an MA from the Royal College of Art. She has exhibited extensively in Wales and England, as well as in Berlin, Tokyo and Athens. In addition to her ongoing collaboration with the Will Barnes Quartet Erin co-founded artist-run projects Contemporary Collaborations and Cypher BILLBOARD.

This stunning exhibition and musical journey can be viewed at the Centre on Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 4pm until 7 th December.
