Joanna Bond: TRWSIO

Opening View and Performance Sharing: 7th February at 7 PM
Closing Performance Sharing and Q&A: 22nd March at 6 PM

Over nine months of research and development, Joanna Bond delved into the profound questions: "How do we become whole again, and what is broken?" "Naw mis o Ymchwil a Datblygu yn archwilio’r cwestiwn ‘Sutydyn ni’n dod yn gyfan eto, a beth sy’n y gallwn ddod yn gyfan eto, a beth sydd wedi torri?’"

This exploration has taken Joanna through both the depths and peaks of examining personal and collective trauma as a creative practice and as a pathway to healing. Through inspiring conversations with established artists, dancers, performance artists, makers, and musicians, Joanna has sparked new ideas about embodying one’s story in performance.

Her work engages with themes of language, heritage, grief, mask making the invisible visible, ritual and multidimensionality. These exchanges have culminated in TRWSIO, an exhibition showcasing a range of creative responses—including works on paper, film, sound, photography, and dance and performance art—uncovering the roots of trauma and the journey toward wholeness.

This project has been made possible with funding from the Arts Council of Wales.
