One year of We Are Cardiff!
Today, We Are Cardiff celebrates its first birthday! We’d like to extend thanks to everyone who has taken part in the project – telling their Cardiff story, taking photographs for the project, visiting the website to read the stories, coming along to see our exhibition at Big Little City…
We’re overwhelmed with how successful the project has been, and we hope you’ve enjoyed it so far. There’s a lot still to come from the residents of Cardiff, so stay tuned!
What to do now?
See our first ever We Are Cardiff story – published exactly a year ago – from Neil Cocker: “Cardiff is a city in flux. And has been since the day I got here”

We Are Cardiff at Big Little City – Launch of Phase Three, 22 June 2011
The rather wonderful Big Little City project that has been underway at the Cardiff Story Museum is having its Phase Three Launch party on Wednesday 22 June 2011, from 5-7pm. We’ll be there – with a refreshed We Are Cardiff display – and hope you can make it too!
We Are Cardiff – interactive exhibition opening soon for BigLittleCity
Excuse the lack of a We Are Cardiff story today … the hackflash minions (who run this website) are hard at work setting up the first ever We Are Cardiff retrospective!
It’s forming part of the BigLittleCity project at The Cardiff Story – the new museum dedicated to the capital of Wales.
We will be displaying photography and stories from We Are Cardiff so far, and inviting you to write your own Cardiff stories to add to our Story Wall in the gallery. We’ll be changing the display every couple of weeks, so make sure you stop by often to see what’s new!
BigLittleCity will be having its grand opening on Thursday 14 April, 5pm til late! After that We Are Cardiff will be exhibiting and inviting you to interact until 22 July!
BigLittleWhat?
BigLittleCity is a celebration of Cardiff and Cardiff’s creative talent for photography, art, film, writing, music and performance, animation, illustration, painting and graffiti. BigLittleCity is about the city and the experience of its residents and as such we are extremely focused on collaboration. The team has been invited to stage a four-month exhibition to help launch Cardiff’s prestigious new people’s museum The Cardiff Story at the Old Library building, The Hayes, in the heart of our city. Opening in March 2011, the BigLittleCity exhibition will showcase everything that is special about the Welsh capital and is set to attract tens of thousands of people. More here: BigLittleCity
So where is it?
The Cardiff Story is a new city museum for the capital of Wales, situated in The Hayes (between House of Fraser and St David’s Hall). More here The Cardiff Story
Come along and say hi! We’d love to see you there
