WREXHAM TOGETHER FLAME

The ‘Wrexham Together Flame’ was a participatory arts project to celebrate diversity in Wrexham County Borough. The project was facilitated by the Association of Voluntary Organisations in Wrexham (AVOW), as a contribution to the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust’s 75 Memorial Flames exhibition. Through 10 events across Wrexham County Borough the “ Wrexham Together Flame’ engaged with numerous organisations, over 100 individuals and created approximately 1000 handprints, footprints, boot prints and wheelchair tracks on the 8ft x 20ft mural.

Holocaust Memorial Day Trust’s theme for 2020 was ‘Stand Together’ to commemorate 75 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Over 300 organisations and community groups produced artwork across the UK, with 75 artworks chosen to be on display at a national exhibition in Central Hall, Westminster, London. The exhibition was launched in conjunction with the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust Commemorative Service on 27th January 2020, which was attended by AVOW representatives.

THANKS TO The ‘Wrexham Together Flame’ was unveiled on Queen’s Square, Wrexham on Tuesday 7th January 2020 and was on display at the AVOW Holocaust Memorial Day commemorative event on Friday 24th January 2020 at the Memorial Hall, Bodhyfryd, Wrexham.

The boards for the artwork were kindly donated by Kronospan and AVOW thanks the company for their support in facilitating the project. Thanks also to everyone who took part and the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust for curating the exhibition and their continued dedication to raising awareness of the atrocities of the Holocaust and subsequent genocides.

FFLAM GYDA’N GILYDD WRECSAM Roedd ‘Fflam Gyda’n Gilydd Wrecsam’ yn brosiect celfyddydol cyfranogol i ddathlu amrywiaeth ym Mwrdeistref Sirol Wrecsam. Cafodd y prosiect ei hwyluso gan Gymdeithas Mudiadau Gwirfoddol Wrecsam (AVOW), fel cyfraniad at arddangosfa 75 Fflam Coffaol Ymddiriedolaeth Diwrnod Cofio’r Holocost. Trwy 10 digwyddiad ar draws Bwrdeistref Sirol Wrecsam bu i ‘Fflam Gyda’n Gilydd Wrecsam’ gysylltu gyda nifer o fudiadau, dros 100 o bobl a chreu tua 1,000 o olion dwylo, traed, esgidiau a chadeiriau olwyn ar y murlun 8 x 20 troedfedd.

Thema Ymddiriedolaeth Diwrnod Cofio’r Holocost ar gyfer 2020 oedd ‘Safwn Gyda’n Gilydd’ i gofio 75 mlynedd ers rhyddhau gwersyll Auschwitz-Birkenau. Bu i dros 300 o fudiadau a grwpiau cymunedol gynhyrchu celfyddywaith ar draws y DU, gyda 75 darn o waith yn cael eu dewis i’w harddangos mewn arddangosfa genedlaethol yn Central Hall, Westminster, Llundain. Cafodd yr arddangosfa ei lansio ar y cyd â Gwasanaeth Coffaol Ymddiriedolaeth Diwrnod Cofio’r Holocost ar y 27ain o Ionawr 2020, ac fe aeth cynrychiolwyr o AVOW i’r digwyddiad.

DIOLCH YN FAWR: Cafodd ‘Fflam Gyda’n Gilydd’ Wrecsam ei dadorchuddio ar Sgwâr y Frenhines, Wrecsam ar Ddydd Mawrth y 7fed o Ionawr 2020 ac roedd i’w gweld yn nigwyddiad coffaol Diwrnod Cofio’r Holocost AVOW ar Ddydd Gwener y 24ain o Ionawr 2020 yn y Neuadd Goffa, Bodhyfryd, Wrecsam.

Yn garedig iawn, bu i Kronospan roi’r byrddau ar gyfer y celfyddydwaith am ddim ac mae AVOW yn diolch i’r cwmni am eu cefnogaeth yn hwyluso’r prosiect. Diolch yn fawr hefyd i bawb wnaeth gymryd rhan ac i Ymddiriedolaeth Diwrnod Cofio’r Holocost am guradu’r arddangosfa ac am eu hymroddiad parhaol i godi ymwybyddiaeth o erchyllterau’r Holocost a hil-laddiadau yn dilyn hynny.
