"Stories of a Changing Landscape, a Farmers Perspective" documents and celebrates local farming heritage looking at the challenges and successes of working the land and how farming practices have changed over the years, linking to sector specific support services for those who might be struggling silently in order to strengthen, support and create a resilient rural Swansea that has increase health and wellbeing.
The commissioned exhibition, with imagery and sound by documentary filmmaker Florence Browne and photographer, Callum Baker seeks to amplify the voices and experiences of farmers in rural Swansea.
