Are you a filmmaker, photographer, or digital creator aged 16+? Do you have a passion for nature and a knack for capturing the "vibe" of a project?

Plas Glyn-y-Weddw is looking for two freelance Visual Storytellers to document our exciting Coed Coexist art project over the coming months. We need someone to go behind the scenes, sharerecord the progress, and bring the story of our woodland and artistic community to life.

 

About Coed Coexist

Coed Coexist is a collaborative project initiated by Pen Llŷn-based artists Junko Mori and John Egan, in partnership with Plas Glyn-y-Weddw. Launched with a symposium in September 2024, the project explores our relationship with trees and woodland, highlighting connections between ecology, community, and creative practice.

Rooted in the local context of Pen Llŷn, Coed Coexist brings together artists, communities, and environmental thinking, and will culminate in an exhibition at Plas Glyn-y-Weddw between May and July 2026.

The Brief:

You’ll be our "eyes on the ground," creating engaging visual content that captures the evolving story of Coed Coexist — from landscapes and artist processes to behind-the-scenes moments.

The primary output is digital content for Plas Glyn-y-Weddw’s channels: newsletter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube Shorts. Any work produced should be suitable for, or adapted to, these platforms.

 

What We’re Looking For:

  • Creatives aged 16+: You don’t need a professional degree, just a great eye and the gear to make it happen (even if it's just a good-quality smartphone!).
  • A Natural Eye: Ability to capture both the small details and the big moments.

  • Commitment: Ability to check in on the project over the next few months.

     

Why Apply?

  • Paid £75 per day x 10 days
  • Build a professional portfolio with a renowned and Wales’ oldest arts gallery.
  • Get hands-on experience in arts storytelling.

  • Contribute to a project exploring the relationship between people and nature.
