In response to Bert Isaac's exhibition at Storiel (05.07.2025 – 29.09.2025) a series of 4 talks curated by Dr. Dafydd Roberts to explore the history of quarrying communities through painted images and literature by various artists. There will be an opportunity to elaborate on how fine arts and literature represented the quarrying communities of Gwynedd. Each contributor will examine and detail fine art materials for historians to create a picture of the quarrying communities during that period.
In the final in the series of these talks National Eisteddfod's chaired poet Ieuan Wyn will look at authour Caradog Pritchard's classic novel from 1961 Un Nos Ola Leuad '( translated to English in 1973 and retitled Full Moon) ' and the 'portrait' depicted in it. It considers the events and upheavals that affected the lives and attitudes of the residents of Bethesda and the surrounding area during the early twentieth century.
