Join us for this free walking tour of Swansea with Catrin James.
Swansea’s post war architecture has always inspired Catrin’s work as an artist and archivist as she highlights the built environment around her through collage, walking tours and oral history.
This walking tour will highlight the rebuilding of a bombed-out Swansea town centre, through the early 1950s to early 1980s and to the architects and styles involved that makes Swansea unique.
Taking in modernism, municipal, brutalism, fixtures and fittings, you will be able to piece together the story of Swansea city centre and ask the question if it works for 21st century city life.
This event is part of a programme of activities to celebrate Heather Phillipson’s Out of this World exhibition.
Free, booking essential.
