BLC on the Guardian Cardiff blog
Big thank you goes out to Hannah Waldram for this great report on our ‘Get your Coat‘ and ‘Spillers T-shirt comp‘ group projects for the Big Little City exhibition.
‘Get your Coat‘ will bring together people’s different interpretations of the Cardiff Coat of Arms in a variety of mediums and we’re also giving you an opportunity to have a go at re designing Cardiff’s most iconic T-Shirt in the ‘Spillers T-Shirt competition’.
Both these group projects will be at the Big Little City exhibition, hosted by The Cardiff Story museum, for the full duration and we’re getting the ball rolling now.

Soul Exchange Trailer
I’ve just seen this beautiful video and needed to share. It’s a trailer for the National Theatre Wales production Soul Exchange by Gavin Porter and Kyle Legall from Community Helps Itself.
The video uses old photographs of Tiger Bay to add an augmented reality layer to present day video footage. I love this piece and it’s really got my cogs whirring.
Final day for Solo submissions
This is the last day for solo submissions for the Big Little City project.
There will be more solo submission dates during the four month long exhibition if you don’t apply this time.
The exhibition runs from March until July at the Cardiff Story
