Description

In the series two finale, we explore how visual arts can create powerful international connections.

Sir John Akomfrah discusses his immersive exhibition Listening All Night to the Rain, which premieres this Saturday, 24 May, at Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales. It marks the first stop on its UK national tour, following its acclaimed run at the 60th Venice Biennale.

Museum curators Lowri Angharad Williams and Ceri Jones also reveal how the installation - weaving themes of memory, migration, and climate change through sonic landscapes - represents a significant moment for Wales in the global arts scene. 

Then we journey to Paris with artist Anna Falcini as she explores the legacy of Welsh artist Gwen John. She traces Gwen John's footsteps in Paris, discovering personal letters and notebooks in the Musée Rodin archives inspiring a moving performance piece. 

Produced by Hannah Loy for British Council Wales.
