In the 1960's the Welsh writer and broadcaster Gwyn Thomas made a series of short films about life in South Wales. Many of the films have been lost but some survive and present us with a fascinating historical archive of a lost time.

Butetown History & Arts Centre in Partnership with Outside Art World
Support our Living History summer programme and help us secure our future
Established in 1988 and located at the heart of old Cardiff Docklands, Butetown History & Arts Centre provides a welcoming space where Cardiff’s diverse communities can come together, feel at home and share activities and experiences with the wider Cardiff.
We offer:
participatory arts and heritage activities
exhibitions and information on Cardiff’s unique multi-cultural history
educational talks and workshops
We are working in partnership with Outside Art World to raise £10,000 to fund our joint summer programme for 2016. This will pay for arts and heritage workshops that use our unique collection of life stories, paintings and photographs.
Memory based workshops for local people will bring alive our rich collection of photographs and stories and will run alongside art, drama, and storytelling workshops open to all. Participation will bring together old and new communities, engaging all ages in creative activities. Stories from Old Tiger Bay will be used to encourage newer residents and refugees to tell their stories through arts and drama workshops.
Rooted in Cardiff Docklands, we have strong links with the many old and new minority communities of South Cardiff including Sudanese, Somali, Middle Eastern and Asian, for whom our Centre is an important welcoming space and resource for cultural activities and education. The programme will culminate in a Living History street festival.
Your donations will pay for a workshop taster day, 50 half-day workshops and the Living History festival. Costs covered will include tutors, materials, project co-ordination and overheads, volunteer expenses and publicity.
This project is part of a wider appeal to secure the future of our unique center. Without the money to offer activities, we have no future. Please support our work.

Zimbabwean Folklore Event 2016
Shumba mbiri
Chipatara ne jere
People came together to enjoy food and drink, dance and sing at the Butetown History and Arts Centre, In Cardiff, United Kingdom. In a get together like this one, Zimbabweans living in the diaspora had the opportunity to mingle with their countrymen, speak in their local language of Shona and Ndebele. Even though this was the case, the event was open to everyone in the community. As a storyteller, I shared my favourite Zimbabwean folklore. Alot of money was raised for the Heath Park Rangers boys football club, which is coached by Charles Nyamhotsi, a Zimbabwean. A very enjoyable event.

Tiger Bay, Cardiff, Wales, 1950's. Archive film 92914
Cardiff. Dockers in Glamorgan eating chips from newspapers. A West Indian immigrant carrying a suit-case leaves a docked ship. It is an indication of the diversity of people from around the world that have chosen to live in Cardiff. The man makes his way through the docks passing the many cranes at work loading the ships with goods and ships from all over the world including Hamburg. He continues his journey through the town, passing a newspaper board that mentions Tiger Bay, the municipal buildings in the city centre and through the residential streets. A Brooke Bond van passes by. Men are crouched against a wall reading newspapers intently, children are at play against the background of industry , pushing each other on swings, playing marbles or cricket on the street. A window is broken by a cricket ball and the woman occupant rushes to the window. Men are playing dice on the street for money. All scenes reflect the diverse ethnicity of Cardiff and the black communities of Tiger Bay. A newspaper board reads 'Butetown is my Home'. An old man leaves the steps of the Salvation Army Men's Hostel and makes his way down the street swinging his cane as he goes, passing bill boards advertising beer and a wall ornamented by statues of lions. His destination is the Cardiff Education Committee College of Art. He is the subject of a life model drawing class and poses for students who sketch him. Shots of statues in the city centre and the National Museum of Wales.
