‘Our Cardiff’ is a project which celebrates the rich heritage of Cardiff’s Butetown area and the historical connection between past and present residents.

Thanks to the valued help of residents, partners, and supporters of the project, we’re delighted to unveil Butetown’s latest community landmark – the fantastic ‘Our Cardiff’ mural by local artist Lucy Sweeney.

Mae ‘Ein Caerdydd’ yn brosiect sy’n dathlu treftadaeth cyfoethog ardal Trebiwt o Gaerdydd a’r cysylltiad hanesyddol rhwng trigolion y gorffennol a’r presennol.

Diolch i gymorth gwerthfawr trigolion, partneriaid a chefnogwyr y prosiect, mae’n bleser i ddadorchuddio tirnod diweddaraf Trebiwt – y murlun ‘Ein Caerdydd’ ffantastig gan yr artist lleol Lucy Sweeney.

After engaging with local businesses and tenants, Our Cardiff teamed up with EYST to recruit and film residents sharing their stories of Butetown from over the years.

Watch the full video of local residents’ experiences as filmed by Zaid Djedri:

Ar ôl ymgysylltu gyda busnesau a thenantiaid lleol, partnerodd Ein Caerdydd gydag EYST i recriwtio a ffilmio trigolion lleol yn rhannu straeon o Drebiwt dros y blynyddoedd.

After the completed interviews, residents once again met to select their  artist to reflect their experiences and create a brand new, vibrant mural in their neighbourhood. It’s a pleasure to confirm that the chosen local artist was the incredibly talented Lucy Sweeney.

Ar ôl cwblhau’r cyfweliadau, cyfarfodd trigolion unwaith eto i ddewis eu hartist i adlewyrchu eu profiadau a chreu murlun newydd sbon, bywiog yn eu cymuned. Mae’n bleser cadarnhau mae’r artist lleol penodedig oedd yr anhygoel o dalentog Lucy Sweeney.

Watch the INCREDIBLE transformation as local artist Lucy Sweeney turns a disused wall in Butetown, Cardiff into a celebration of the area’s rich history and heritage.
