Pretty Shitty City

Its been a while since anything has inspired me enough to actually write something proper for this site (rather than just regurgitate press releases :) ) but the slightly secretive exhibition held on Friday down The Strand was too cool not to mention.

Photography students Veronica Sanchis, Ryan Moule, Luke Stanton, Kirstin Binding and Francesca Denega from Swansea Metropolitan University had setup a Lens Based installation in an old run down building that was once used by fishermen. Apparently the river Tawe used to flow where The Strand road now rests, and fittingly the exhibition is called ‘River of The Forgotten’. The building was decked out with fairy lights, projectors, netting, fishing line, seaweed and even had framed “fresh” fish on the walls.

To top it all off a free punk show was organised and bands including Ssssnakes and Dead Rails provided the entertainment.

Right on.
