Scheduled dates
‘Bawso Stories: Landmarks of Personal History’ is a screening of a series of short films and a panel conversation. The short films, 'Bawso Stories', celebrate the lives and experiences of BME women who have travelled to Wales from across the world.
Using Amgueddfa Cymru’s objects and sites as starting points, the stories are conversation-starters about memories and personal moments from across the landscape of Wales. Visitors will be invited to join a discussion around the making of the stories, and celebrating the lives of people supported by Bawso.
Together, the Bawso Stories draw attention to marginalised and under-represented experiences. The Stories challenge ideas about heritage and belonging, and build a picture of a rich and diverse Wales. Bawso is the only Wales-wide specialist domestic abuse organisation dedicated to supporting BME survivors of violence. Booking is needed for the event.
