About

Peak Cymru is an organisation which collaborates with young people, artists and intergenerational communities. We work from two sites in Southeast Wales, a railway station and an old school, and from rural locations such as mountains, caves and canals.

Sefydliad sy’n cydweithio gyda phobl ifanc, artistiaid a chymunedau aml-genhedlaeth yw Peak Cymru. Rydyn ni’n gweithio o ddau leoliad yn y de ddwyrain, sef gorsaf drenau a hen ysgol, a hefyd o leoliadau gwledig fel mynyddoedd, ogofâu a chamlesi.

Through young people’s programmes, collaborative research and artist residencies we celebrate the unique qualities and ecologies of our region including the Black Mountains, the Welsh Borders and Vale of Usk. A key part of our work is hosting public conversations that root urgent global conversations in local places and contexts, led by artists and young people in dialogue with farmers, geologists, writers, gardeners, system designers and other makers and thinkers.

Drwy raglenni i bobl ifanc, ymchwil gydweithredol, a phreswylfeydd artistiaid, rydyn ni’n dathlu ecolegau a nodweddion unigryw ein hardal, gan gynnwys y Mynydd Du, y Gororau, a Dyffryn Wysg. Un rhan allweddol o’n gwaith yw cynnal trafodaethau cyhoeddus sy’n gwreiddio sgyrsiau argyfyngus byd-eang mewn llefydd a chyd-destunau lleol, dan arweiniad artistiaid a phobl ifanc mewn deialog gyda ffermwyr, daearegwyr, awduron, garddwyr, dylunwyr systemau a gwneuthurwyr a meddylwyr eraill.

We believe that artists build worlds and imagine and manifest new ways to live; young people are at the forefront of change and they need support, solidarity and empowerment to do the work of the future; and that multiple ways of thinking, communicating, making and being are needed in a world where all species thrive.

Rydyn ni’n credu bod artistiaid yn creu bydoedd ac yn dychmygu ac yn gwireddu ffyrdd newydd o fyw; bod pobl ifanc ar flaen y gad wrth greu newid, ac mae angen cymorth, undod a grym arnyn nhw i wneud gwaith y dyfodol; a bod angen sawl ffordd o weithio, cyfathrebu, creu a bod mewn byd lle mae pob rhywogaeth yn ffynnu.
