The Pontio Arts Centre in Bangor is set to host an exhibition this autumn showcasing the Public Map Platform project’s creative journey.

The exhibition will visually chart the remarkable collaboration between Welsh Bards and local children and young people on Ynys Môn during summer 2024, bringing to life the stories, poetry, and artistic expressions that emerged from the Lle Llais (Voice Place) events. Through this display, visitors will experience how bardic traditions were reimagined through the fresh perspectives of children and young people, creating a unique cultural mapping that connects generations and celebrates the sense of belonging and well-being through contemporary voices.

The exhibition promises to engage the public in the narrative of the project through an immersive experience that honours community connection to place.
