The community project "Valleys Re-Told" currently run by Museum Wales uses art to discover and share community knowledge about their own history and heritage.

One of the activities they have been undertaking in #MerthyrTydfil was with the Dowlais Visual Arts Group. The members created new collages using Heinz Koppel's fantastic (and quite frankly ENORMOUS) #painting 'Merthyr Blues' which he produced in 1955.

Words cannot tell how delighted I am to see more and more people discover this magnificent piece of #VisualArt produced by a Jewish German refugee from Nazi persecution in his new adopted country, #Wales.

Back in 2015, I was extremely lucky to loan the painting from NMW for a special exhibition in Swansea after it had been in storage for decades (http://eurovisions.bangor.ac.uk/exile-and-immigration.php.en). I sincerely hope that the work of Valleys Re-Told will bring more people to Koppel's body of work.

Merthyr / surrounding area - little heads up that The Talking Shop Merthyr is giving away free furniture (armchairs, etc.) today as they are closing. Might be worth a look to see what they have on offer!

Not my image this time, but one taken by my late Grandfather. The film was a Kodak 120mm, which expired on 1st November 1985. It was developed 10th December 2014, scanned 11th December 2014. View of Georgetown in Merthyr Tydfil. No retail park in those days. Texas hardware store out of shot, same for the petrol station and Thorn EMI factory.

The man himself has arrived at long last to a spontaneous chorus of #OhJeremyCorbyn from the packed audience in #MerthyrTydfil

Here are some more sheep for #Defaidodon and #SheepOfMastodon. These are sheep from the Twynau, above Pant, in #MerthyrTydfil. Merthyr has historically been fertile ground for #WorkersRights (see 1831 #MerthyrRising), so I expect that these sheep are #antifascist and generally badass.
