 Tine Bech at the Swansea Festival of Music and Arts

To coincide with the Swansea Festival of Music and the Arts, Locws International has commissioned a series of new temporary artworks that reflect the people, culture, heritage and landscape of Swansea. DCRC PhD researcher Tine Bech has worked with the communities of St Thomas, Grenfell Park and Port Tennant as part of the SA1 Swansea Waterfront Public Art Programme to develop an artwork that reflects the area's rich maritime history.

Other artists include: Jackie Chettur, who has created an artwork inspired by the Swansea 'Capehorners'; Rebecca Spooner, who has responded to Cwmdonkin Park and the inspiration it gave to DylanThomas and Simon Whitehead, who's project marks 70 years since the beginning of the devastating bombing of Swansea during the Second World War.

The four projects are set out across the maritime district of the city; are free to see and are open from 8 - 31 October 2010, 10am - 5pm.

Launch Reception: Thursday 7th October, 5.30pm, National Waterfront Museum, Swansea
