Changing Eryri: Online
Newid Eryri is an inquisitive exhibition that shines a light on the diverse ways in which Eryri has already undergone change, from the hidden processes intrinsic to shaping our understandings of its landscape, to the more evident physical transformations undertaken by the historic Penrhyn Estate.
The exhibition explores the changing landscape of Eryri through time. The archive material and historic information shared here specifically focuses on Bethesda and Dyffryn Ogwen in Northwest Wales.
The interactive exhibition was hosted at Pontio, in Bangor during August 2024. 172 visitors came to explore the exhibition over nine days! Visitors said:
Diddorol dros ben. Diolch am y cyfle i weld mapiau... Gwych! Y gerddoriaeth yn cren awyrgylch arbennig.
I will take a different look at Eryri because of this exhibition, trying to imagine the centuries of people who walked and used the land in varying ways.
The material on display has now been made available to all through this online space – on Newid Eryri.
Many images directly link to the archive material that is held by Bangor University Archives and Special Collections or The National Library of Wales.
The exhibition was supported by Bangor University, Bangor University Archives and Special Collections, the Institute for the Study of Welsh Estates, Sir Williams Roberts Centre for Sustainable Land Use, the Department of Music, Drama and Performance and Pontio.
