 Ancient Connections is delighted to announce the opening of an exhibition titled Sift at Oriel Y Parc and the Refectory, St Davids Cathedral on February 23^rd. Following this, the show will tour to Wexford town, opening on April 14th at the Wexford County Council offices at Carricklawn.

The six artists included are John Sunderland, Sylvia Cullen, David Begley, who are all based in the east of Ireland and Seán Vicary, Linda Norris and Tracy Breathnach based in the west of Wales.

The exhibition weaves together the themes of journeying, sacred places, ancestral heritage, storytelling and longing for home through photography, animation, sound, participatory arts, text, story, glass and light. The artists have been inspired by the findings of the Ancient Connections wider project. Historical research, folklore and story gathering have revealed deep connections between these two regions and the archaeological excavations and geophysical surveys at Whitesands and in Ferns, Wexford tell a story of travel and connection between Wexford and Pembrokeshire from pre-history to the modern day.

Everyone is welcome to join us for the launch events which will begin 4 pm at the Refectory, St Davids Cathedral to view David Begley's work and then 5-7 pm at Oriel Y Parc.
