\nA series of new public art projects commissioned by Swansea arts charity Locws International, are set to be staged during the Swansea Festival of Music and the Arts in October 2010. Each of the temporary projects celebrate the rich and diverse history of the city and explore aspects of the city\u2019s culture.
\n
\nDanish artist Tine Bech has been working with the communities of St Thomas, Grenfell Park and Port Tennant as part of the SA1 Swansea Waterfront Art Programme to develop an artwork that reflects the area\u2019s rich maritime history. She is working with local people through a series of \u2018Light Drawing\u2019 workshops to explore the history and memories of the local community. These drawings are to be the inspiration for a bold, colourful sculpture for the SA1 area that represents the local communities\u2019 relationship with this historic area of Swansea.
\n
\nWelsh artist, Rebecca Spooner has responded to Cwmdonkin Park and the inspiration it gave to Dylan Thomas and particularly his poem \u2018The Hunchback in the Park\u2019. She has responded to the park\u2019s rich wildlife and created a film-based work that explores the impact our urban parks can have upon us, both in giving us the opportunity to be connected to nature and in turn with ourselves. Set alongside other artefacts and memorabilia that relate to Dylan Thomas, her work is viewable at the Dylan Thomas Centre.
\nMarking 70 years since the beginning of the devastating bombing of Swansea during the Second World War, Simon Whitehead returns to this traumatic part of the city\u2019s history by exploring the bomb craters left across the city and collating stories of peoples\u2019 experiences and memories of them. Using a series of aerial photographs of the city taken by the Luftwaffe, he has created an interactive map that takes the viewer on a walk through the landscape of the city to discover if any of the craters still exist and what happened to the ones that have disappeared.
\nThere is also another chance to see Jackie Chettur\u2019s \u2018\u2026it is 89 days since we left the Mumbles Head\u2019. The history of the Swansea \u2018Cape Horners\u2019 journeys are beautifully told through a series of images that are displayed within stereo viewers. If you missed it last time here is a second chance.
\nMaps and further information about the artworks will be available at the Locws Hub at the National Waterfront Museum, Swansea.
\nLocws International works with international and Welsh contemporary artists to create new visual artworks and projects that respond to the culture and heritage of the City of Swansea. With Support from The Arts Council of Wales, The Esm\u00e9e Fairbairn Foundation, The City & County of Swansea and the Welsh Assembly Government.

\nRebecca Spooner wedi ymateb i’r Parc Cwmdonkin a roddodd ysbrydoliaeth i Dylan Thomas ac yn enwedig ei gerdd ‘The Hunchback yn y Parc’. Mae hi wedi ymateb i fywyd gwyllt y parc yn gyfoethog ac yn creu gwaith ffilm yn seiliedig sy’n edrych ar yr effaith y gall ein parciau trefol wedi arnom ni, yn rhoi cyfle i ni fod yn gysylltiedig \u00e2 natur ac yn ei dro \u00e2 ni ein hunain.

Gan ddefnyddio cyfres o luniau o’r awyr ar y ddinas a gymerwyd gan y Luftwaffe, mae wedi creu map rhyngweithiol sy’n cymryd y gwyliwr ar daith trwy dirlun y ddinas i ddarganfod os oes unrhyw un o’r Craterau yn dal i fodoli a beth a ddigwyddodd i’r rhai sydd wedi diflannu.
