‘Sharing the stories of lockdown, through the hearts and hands of the community’
'Rhannu straeon y cyfnod cloi, drwy galonnau a dwylo'r gymuned'
Hi I’m Naz, founder of Ziba Creative.

Helo, Naz ydw i, sylfaenydd Ziba Creative.



I am a community artist, developing a project called ‘Lost Connections’.
​
In these strange times, the human connections that we thrive on, are missing. Telling the stories of the community is so important – of hope, isolation, worries, memories, things that we hold close to us. What are we holding onto? What will we take forward from all of this?
​
‘Lost Connections’ will create a visual art piece in the form of a digital gallery, blogs and a podcast. Physical Pop Up exhibitions will be organised if government guidelines allow, throughout December. Our hands tell a story and are a map of our lives and experiences.
My mission is to enable the community to share their stories, record their thoughts and create digital memories by bringing them together online.
​
All you need to do to take part is create a piece of artwork inspired by lockdown, include your hand(s) and tell me the meaning behind it.
​
I’m looking forward to connecting with you all along the way!
Rwy'n artist cymunedol, ac rwy’n datblygu project o'r enw 'Cysylltiadau Coll'.
Yn y cyfnod rhyfedd hwn, mae'r cysylltiadau dynol rydyn ni’n ffynnu arnyn nhw ar goll. Mae adrodd straeon y gymuned mor bwysig – straeon am obaith, unigedd, pryderon, atgofion, pethau sy’n annwyl i ni. Beth rydyn ni’n gafael arno? Beth fydd yn para gyda ni o hyn i gyd?
​
Bydd 'Cysylltiadau Coll' yn creu darn celf gweledol ar ffurf oriel ddigidol, blogiau a phodlediad. Bydd arddangosfeydd dros dro go iawn yn cael eu trefnu os bydd canllawiau'r llywodraeth yn caniatáu hyn, a hynny trwy gydol mis Rhagfyr. Mae ein dwylo'n adrodd stori ac yn fap o'n bywydau a'n profiadau. Fy nghenhadaeth i yw galluogi'r gymuned i rannu eu straeon, cofnodi’r hyn sydd ar eu meddwl, a chreu atgofion digidol drwy ddod â nhw at ei gilydd ar-lein.
​
Y cyfan sydd angen i chi ei wneud i gymryd rhan yw creu darn o waith celf wedi'i ysbrydoli gan y cyfnod cloi, cynnwys eich llaw/dwylo a dweud wrtha i beth yw’r ystyr y tu ôl i’r darn.
Rwy'n edrych ymlaen at gysylltu â chi yn ystod y siwrnai hon!
