Fel rhan o raglen gyhoeddus ein harddangosfa bresennol, MURMUR – arddangosfa unigol gan yr artist, gwneuthurwr ffilmiau ac awdur Anthony Shapland – rydym yn falch iawn o gynnal digwyddiad sgwrsio byw wyneb yn wyneb rhwng Anthony, y curadur gwadd Marie-Anne McQuay a Chyfarwyddwr Creadigol Tŷ Pawb, Jo Marsh. Gyda'i gilydd, byddant yn trafod themâu'r arddangosfa, gan gynnwys hunaniaeth 'queer' a dosbarth gweithiol mewn cymunedau gwledig ac ardaloedd ymylol (edgelands), yn ogystal â dynwarediad a rhith yn y byd natur a diwylliant, a'r ffyrdd y mae Anthony yn integreiddio ysgrifennu yn ei waith celf gweledol.
Anthony Shapland
Mae Anthony Shapland yn awdur ac artist o Gymru. Ef yw sylfaenydd a Chyfarwyddwr Creadigol g39 yng Nghaerdydd. Mae ei waith fel awdur ac artist yn adeiladu ar y syniad bod y byd wedi'i greu yn yr un ffordd â set ffilm – yn esblygu'n gyson ac yn dros dro.
