Mae iffusion: Gŵyl Ffotograffiaeth yngwladol Caerdydd, dathliad dwyflynyddol Ffotogallery o ffotograffiaeth a chelf gyfoes o safon fyd-eang, yn dychwelyd 1-31 Mai gyda mis o arddangosfeydd, digwyddiadau a gweithgareddau ledled y ddinas. Mae iffusion 2017 yn ystyried chwyldro yn ei gyd-destun ehangaf, gan ymchwilio i adegau o newid cymdeithasol a mudiadau n ymwneud â rhyddid mynegiant, cyrchu iwtopia, hawliau dynol a hunaniaeth. rwy brism ffotograffiaeth a chyfryngau n seiliedig ar lens, archwilir newidiadau dramatig a phell-gyrhaeddol y can mlynedd diwethaf i n ffordd o fyw rhai technolegol, gwleidyddol, cymdeithasol a diwylliannol. he ussian revolution in 1917 heralded the golden age of modernism, in a world still divided by socio-economic inequality, war and political upheaval, including the long road to freedom and independence for those living under colonial rule. Post- 1945, the reconstruction of urope and the Baby Boomer generation saw momentous changes in manufacturing and the rise of mass consumerism, the civil rights movement, the cultural revolution, the sexual revolution, feminism, the green revolution, the digital revolution, perestroika and the so-called velvet revolution which, together with the fall of the Berlin Wall, ended the Cold War. evolutionary change requires a challenge to the established order, protest and rebellion, insurgency, risk and experimentation, new ideas and ideologies, and transformational processes. he subsequent turbulence in the Middle ast after the rab Spring uprisings reminds us, nonetheless, how bitter and protracted the revolutionary struggle can be. Photography itself is a revolutionary medium, both because of the technological and creative possibilities it affords, and for its accessibility. he camera s technology of mechanical reproduction makes it the fastest, most modern, and arguably, the most relevant form of visual representation. In the early twentieth-century, the medium offered a potentially transformative vision for artists, who sought new ways to see, represent, and understand the rapidly changing world around them. igital technology dramatically changed ordinary Image /Llun dward Barber Peace Signs people s relationship with photography in that we now consume and process on a daily basis a vast quantity of image-based information on our computers, televisions, mobile phones and other devices. iffusion 2017 will examine some of these revolutionary changes in our lives and also look at how photographic and digital imaging technologies have generated new interdisciplinary practices, disciplines and creative industries engaging with the production, analysis, dissemination, manipulation and authentication of images and data. iffusion will also reflect Wales long and rich history of rebellion, from the Merthyr WLS LONG N ICH HISOY OF BLLION ising in 1831 to the Miners Strike in the 1980s and its legacy, and the more recent cultural revolution focusing on the assertion of Wales distinctive identity as a bi-lingual, independent nation. o coincide with the Welsh Government s Year of Legends, we will highlight various Welsh game-changers - key individuals who have had a profound and transformational impact on the wider social and cultural landscape. hese will include Nye Bevan (who spearheaded the establishment of the National Health Service, as featured in a new project by artist avid Garner) and also Sir Percy homas, the modernist architect who designed the British Nylon Spinners Factory in Pontypool, Sully Hospital and St Fagan s Museum, amongst other important buildings. Image /Llun Hilary Powell Farewell ock rweiniodd Chwyldro wsia ym 1917 at oes aur moderniaeth, mewn byd a oedd yn dal wedi ei rannu gan annhegwch cymdeithasol-economaidd, rhyfel a gwrthdaro gwleidyddol, yn cynnwys y ffordd hir at annibyniaeth i r rheini a oedd yn byw dan reolaeth drefedigaethol. Wedi 1945, yn y broses o ailadeiladu wrop, gwelodd cenhedlaeth y Baby Boomers newidiadau aruthrol mewn cynhyrchu a phrynwriaeth dorfol, y mudiad hawliau sifil, y chwydro diwylliannol, y chwyldro rhywiol, ffeministiaeth, y chwyldro gwyrdd, y chwyldro digidol, perestroika, a r chwyldro melfed, fel y gelwid ef, a fu, ynghyd â chwymp Wal Berlin, yn gyfrwng dod â r hyfel Oer i ben. Mae newid chwyldroadol yn golygu herio r drefn sefydliedig, protest a gwrthryfel, mentro ac arbrofi, syniadau ac ideolegau newydd, a phrosesau trawsffurfiannol. Mae r cythrwfl yn y wyrain Canol a ddilynodd wrthryfeloedd y Gwanwyn rabaidd yn ein hatgoffa, serch hynny, mor chwerw a hirfaith y gall y frwydr chwyldroadol fod. Mae ffotograffiaeth ei hun yn broses chwyldroadol, oherwydd y posibiliadau technolegol a chreadigol a gynigir ganddi, a hefyd ei hygyrchedd. Mae technoleg atgynhyrchu fecanyddol y camera yn golygu mai dyma r ffurf gyflymaf, fwyaf modern a, gellid dadlau, mwyaf perthnasol o gynrychiolaeth weledol. Yn yr ugeinfed ganrif gynnar, cynigai weledigaeth â phosibiliadau trawsffurfiannol i artistiaid, a geisiai ffyrdd newydd o weld, cynrychioli a deall byd a oedd yn newid ar garlam o u cwmpas. Newidiodd technoleg ddigidol berthynas pobl gyffredin â ffotograffiaeth yn syfrdanol, o r safbwynt ein bod bellach yn defnyddio ac yn prosesu llwyth anferth o wybodaeth yn seiliedig ar ddelweddau ar gyfrifiadur, teledu, ffôn symudol a dyfeisiau eraill yn feunyddiol. Bydd iffusion 2017 yn archwilio rhai o r newidiadau chwyldroadol hyn yn ein bywydau a hefyd yn edrych ar sut mae technolegau delweddu ffotograffig a digidol wedi esgor ar ddulliau gwaith, disgyblaethau a diwydiannau creadigol rhyng-ddisgyblaethol newydd yn ymwneud â chynhyrchu, dadansoddi, lledaenu, adnewid a dilysu delweddau a data. Bydd iffusion hefyd yn adlewyrchu hanes maith HNS HI C MYWIOL CYMU O WHYFL a chyfoethog Cymru o brotestio a gwrthryfela, o Wrthryfel Merthyr ym 1831 i Streic y Glowyr yn y 1980au a gwaddol hynny, a r chwyldro diwylliannol mwy diweddar yn mynnu ar hunaniaeth arbennig Cymru fel cenedl ddwyieithog, annibynnol. I gyd-daro â Blwyddyn Chwedlau Llywodraeth Cymru, byddwn yn goroleuo gwahanol gêmnewidwyr o Gymry unigolion allweddol a fu â dylanwad dwys a thrawsnewidiol ar y dirwedd gymdeithasol a diwylliannol ehangach, yn cynnwys neurin Bevan (sefydlydd y Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol, a welir mewn project newydd gan yr artist avid Garner) a hefyd Syr Percy homas (y pensaer modernaidd a ddyluniodd ffatri British Nylon Spinners ym Mhont-y-pŵl, Ysbyty Sili, ac mgueddfa Werin Cymru, ymhlith adeiladau pwysig eraill).

3 evolution - iffusion 2017 evolution - iffusion 2017 PICUING H VOLUION Photography became a particularly important medium for artists in the decade after the ussian evolution of October Photography, and by extension film, were used not simply to document revolutionary changes in society, but also to create new forms of expression in art, a trend which quickly spread across urope and the mericas, and to China and other parts of sia. s well as advancing revolutionary ideas, photography has played a key role in popular protest, bearing witness to events and societal injustices and bringing them to wider public attention, from the perspective of professional artists and photographers, and latterly through citizen photojournalism. Photomontage, design and illustration combined to create a new revolutionary aesthetic, and the use of photography developed as a means to challenge the established order, as well as its role in advancing revolutionary ideas. From ada to Constructivism, the Bauhaus movement to Pop rt, the avant-garde radically transformed the status of photography, drawing the medium away from its documentary roots. Collage and cut-ups, the use of high and low angle shots, grid structures and industrial forms, offered new possibilities for the medium. hese visual motifs and design ideas recur over the last hundred years up to today, with iconic photographic images being appropriated and recycled for different causes (including being assimilated in post-modern art and commercial advertising). eth ffotograffiaeth yn gyfrwng neilltuol o bwysig i artistiaid yn y degawd ar ôl Chwyldro Hydref 1917 yn wsia. efnyddiwyd ffotograffiaeth, a thrwy estyniad, ffilm nid yn unig i ddogfennu newidiadau chwyldroadol mewn cymdeithas, ond hefyd i greu ffurfiau newydd o fynegiant mewn celf, tuedd a ledaenodd ar garlam ar draws wrop, yr mericas, ac i China a rhannau eraill o sia. Yn ogystal â hyrwyddo syniadau chwyldroadol, chwaraeodd ffotograffiaeth ran allweddol mewn protestio cyhoeddus, gan dystio i ddigwyddiadau ac anghyfiawnderau cymdeithasol a dod â nhw i sylw r cyhoedd ehangach, o bersbectif artistiaid a ffotograffwyr proffesiynol ac, yn ddiweddar, trwy ffoto-newyddiaduraeth dinasyddion. Cyfunodd ffotomontage, dylunio a darlunio i greu estheteg chwyldroadol newydd, a datblygwyd y defnydd o ffotograffiaeth fel ffordd o herio r drefn sefydliedig, yn ogystal â hyrwyddo syniadau chwyldroadol. O ada i deilyddiaeth, y mudiad Bauhaus i Gelf Pop, trawsnewidiodd yr avant-garde statws ffotograffiaeth yn sylfaenol, gan lywio r cyfrwng oddi wrth ei wreiddiau dogfennol. oedd gweithiau collage a thorri allan, saethu o onglau uchel ac isel, strwythurau grid a ffurfiau diwydiannol oll yn cynnig posibiliadau newydd i r cyfrwng. Ceir y motiffau gweledol a r syniadau dylunio hyn yn ymddangos dro ar ôl tro ar hyd y can mlynedd diwethaf hyd at heddiw, gyda delweddau ffotograffig eiconig yn cael eu dwyn a u hailgylchu i wahanol ddibenion (yn cynnwys eu cymhathu i mewn i gelf ôlfodern a hysbysebu masnachol) PHOOGPHY HS PLY KY OL IN POPUL POS Image /Llun Vanley Burke No ime for Flowers Image /Llun Bojan adović he Icon / he Star Image /Llun Paolo Ciregia Perestrojka CHWO FFOOGFFIH N LLWOL MWN POSIU BOBLOGI Image /Llun kennardphillipps State of the Nations Image /Llun Marcelo Brodsky the fire of ideas

Mae r mudiad Modernaidd mewn pensaerniaeth a dylunio trefol yn parhau i fod yn ffenomenon fyd- eang. Mewn llawer o ddinasoedd Gorllewinol, oherwydd yr adwaith yn erbyn pensaernïaeth goncrid filain, ynghyd â dyfodiad patrymau adfywio trefol newydd, cafodd y weledigaeth fodernaidd gynharach, fwy radical, ei disodli gan ystyriaethau amgylcheddol, cymdeithasol a diwylliannol gwahanol. Mae r rhain yn cynnwys cynyddu gwerth tir ac eiddo i r eithaf, boneddigeiddio ardaloedd, gan ddadleoli cymunedau preswyl o ganlyniad i hynny, unffurfiaeth gynyddol dylunio a dulliau a deunyddiau adeiladu, hyrwyddo byw mewn adeiladau uchel a mentrau dinas werdd. lfen gyfredol sy n ysgogi newid trawsffurfiannol yng Nghymru ac wrop ehangach yw adfywio dinasoedd a rhanbarthau a adawyd yn dlawd wedi dirywiad diwydiannau traddodiadol, gan sicrhau cydraddoldeb cyfle a mynediad i bob dinesydd, cydnabyddiaeth i amrywiaeth diwylliannol, ac ymrwymiad holl-gwmpasog i lesiant a chynaliadwyedd amgylcheddol. Image /Llun obert Smith Human Fabric Image /Llun Manuel Bougot Chandigarh Image /Llun iane Meyer Berlin Image /Llun anila kachenko Lost Horizon Photography has become the primary means by which architects and urban planners articulate their vision of the evolving cityscape. Since its invention in the nineteenth century, photography has always done more than simply represent the lines and spatial forms of buildings and skylines. he medium transformed how new buildings are conceived by architects and how they are received by the public. rchitecture in the twentieth century relied on photography to communicate its modernist and postmodernist practices within a utopian view of the emerging new world. he 20th century saw a revolution in architecture and the built environment across the developed world, realised through the dramatic expansion of towns and cities, the development of new technologies and manufacturing processes, the creation of suburbia and new towns, a transformation in road, rail and air travel, post-war reconstruction of damaged cities and the need for social housing in response to population growth. he Modernist movement in architecture and urban design became and continues to be a global phenomenon. In many Western cities, a reaction against brutalist concrete architecture, along with the introduction of new urban regeneration paradigms, saw the earlier, more radical modernist vision supplanted by different environmental, social and cultural considerations. hese include maximising real estate values, area gentrification and the consequent displacement of residential communities, an increasing homogeneity of design and build methods and materials, the promotion of high-rise living and green city initiatives. current driver for transformational change in Wales and wider urope is the regeneration of cities and regions that were impoverished by the decline of traditional industries, ensuring equality of opportunity and access for all citizens, recognition of cultural diversity and an allencompassing commitment to well-being and environmental sustainability.

6 evolution - iffusion 2017 evolution - iffusion 2017 INIY N H BIG VOLUION H NW SXUL VOLUION Social media platforms allow millions of us around the world to store, publish and share our own image making, and to find new ways to express ourselves. Beyond those areas of photography and image-making still governed by the human eye, webcams and CCV, drones and embedded cameras and sensors connected to computers are tracking anything and anyone in their field of vision, being omnipresent in our public spaces. Linking these communicating sensors to computing intelligence and vast globally networked databases has given rise to what is being called he Internet of hings. key aim for iffusion from the outset has been to establish a new kind of photography festival for the 21st Century, using social media and other digital tools to generate live media content from events that could be experienced remotely by local and global audiences throughout the festival. he parallel online project has provided live documentation of each festival as it evolved on various social media and web-based platforms, along with hosting content from artist residencies on Instagram and other digital engagement projects. s well as presenting thought provoking artworks and undertaking engaging participatory projects led by commissioned artists, iffusion s programme for 2017 will offer a more in depth critique of the digital revolution. It will look at how personal and other data is captured, analysed and used in art and society both for good and for less benign purposes such as surveillance, data mining and marketing. It will examine artists changing relationship with photographic and lens-based technologies, including the camera itself, and the progressive shift to highly automated and computer mediated processes in which the role of the artist as originator is brought into question. HYNGWY PHU H INN OF HINGS Mae llwyfannau cyfryngau cymdeithasol yn galluogi miliynau ohonom ledled y byd i storio, rhannu a chyhoeddi ein delweddau, a darganfod ffyrdd newydd o fynegi ein hunain. Y tu hwnt l r meysydd ffotograffiaeth a delweddu hynny sy n dal wedi eu llywodraethu gan y llygad dynol, mae gwegamerâu a theledu cylch cyfyng, drônau â chamerâu, a synwyryddion cyfrifiadurol sy n dilyn unrhyw beth ac unrhyw un o fewn eu golwg, yn hollbresennol yn ein mannau cyhoeddus. Mae cysylltu r synwyryddion cyfathrebu hyn â chyfrifiaduron a chronfeydd data enfawr sy n ffurfio rhwydweithiau byd-eang wedi arwain at yr hyn a elwir yn hyngrwyd y Pethau. mcan allweddol i iffusion o r cychwyn cyntaf oedd sefydlu math newydd o ŵyl ffotograffiaeth ar gyfer yr 21ain ganrif, gan ddefnyddio cyfryngau cymdeithasol a dulliau digidol eraill i gynhyrchu cynnwys cyfryngau byw o ddigwyddiadau y gellid eu gweld gan gynulleidfaoedd lleol a byd-eang ar hyd yr ŵyl. Mae r project ar-lein cyfredol wedi dogfennu pob gŵyl yn fyw wrth iddi esblygu, ar wahanol lwyfannau gwe a chyfryngau cymdeithasol, ynghyd â dangos cynnwys gan artistiaid preswyl ar Instagram a phrojectau ymgysylltu digidol eraill. Yn ogystal â chyflwyno gweithiau celf pryfoclyd a chynnal projectau cyfranogol dan arweinaid artistiaid comisiwn, bydd rhaglen iffusion ar gyfer 2017 yn cynnig beirniadaeth fwy manwl o r chwyldro digidol. Bydd yn archwilio sut y caiff data personol ac ati eu rhwydo, eu dadansoddi a u defnyddio mewn celf a chymdeithas i ddibenion da ac i rai llai dymunol fel gwyliadwriaeth, cloddio data a marchnata. Bydd yn archwilio perthynas gyfnewidiol artistiaid gyda thechnolegau ffotograffig a seiliedig ar lens, gan gynnwys y camera ei hun, a r symudiad cynyddol i brosesau tra otomatig a rhai a gyfryngir gan gyfrifiadur, sy n bwrw amheuaeth ar rôl yr artist ei hun fel crëwr. Image /Llun sther Hovers False Positives Image /Llun Laís Pontes Born Nowhere Before the sexual revolution of the 1960s, there was no common vocabulary for non-heterosexuality that was not derogatory. From about 1988, activists began to use the initials LGB (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and ransgender) and most recently added Q (for Questioning or Queer). ccompanying this internationally engaged civil rights and equality movement, artists used their creative freedom to explore gender, sexuality and alternative life-style choices, against a backdrop of discrimination and repression. new generation of photographers has now emerged that specifically aims to capture the diversity and uniqueness of the LGB+ community. In a special partnership with the Iris Prize Film Festival, iffusion will present a selection of exhibitions and short films exploring issues around sexual orientation, gender fluidity and identity. o mark the 50th anniversary of the Sexual Offences ct, 1967, and the decriminalisation of homosexuality in ngland and Wales, we look at LGB+ stories from around the world. Some speak of new found freedoms and celebrate the diversity of contemporary life and human relationships, others remind us that intolerance and persecution of the LGB+ community remains a chilling reality in many Western and non-western countries. MYWIH O FYWYU CYFOS PHHNSO YNOL Cyn chwyldro rhywiol y 1960au, doedd dim geirfa gyffredin ar gyfer anheterorywioldeb nad oedd yn ddifrïol. O tua 1988, dechreuodd gweithredwyr ddefnyddio LGB (Lesbiaid, Hoyw, eurywiol a hrawsrywiol) ac yn fwyaf diweddar, ychwanegwyd Q (Questioning neu Queer) Ochr yn ochr â r mudiad hawliau sifil a chydraddoldeb rhyngwladol hwn, defnyddiodd artistiaid eu rhyddid creadigol i archwilio dewisiadau o ran rhywedd, rhywioldeb a ffyrdd amgen o fyw, yn erbyn cefndir o wahaniaethu annheg a gormes. aeth cenhedlaeth newydd o ffotograffwyr i r amlwg bellach sydd â r nod benodol o geisio darlunio amrywiaeth a natur unigryw y gymuned LGBQ. Mewn partneriaeth arbennig gyda Gŵyl Ffilm Gwobr Iris, bydd iffusion yn cyflwyno detholiad o arddangosfeydd a ffilmiau byr yn archwilio materion yn ymwneud â chyfeiriadedd rhywiol, ac amrywiaeth rhywedd a hunaniaeth. I nodi 50 mlynedd ers y deddf roseddau hyw 1967 a dad-droseddu cyfunrywioldeb yng Nghymru a Lloegr, fe edrychwn ar straeon LGB+ o bedwar ban. Mae rhai yn sôn am ryddid newydd ac yn dathlu amrywiaeth bywyd cyfoes a pherthnasau dynol, mae eraill yn ein hatgoffa bod anoddefgarwch ac erledigaeth y gymuned LGB+ yn parhau i fod yn realiti iasol mewn llawer gwlad.

Ffotogallery has just embarked on an 18 month partnership programme with elhi Photo Festival, to coincide with the 70th anniversary of Indian independence, so several exhibitions and artist projects will look at the emergence of modern India post-independence and contemporary Indian culture and experience at home and abroad. In raising important questions about the world we live in today, iffusion offers a month long programme of exhibitions, interventions, screenings, performances, events and celebrations in both physical and virtual spaces and places. he excitement of directly participating in the festival, and the international reach and visibility of the event, is further enhanced through printed and online publications, websites, mobile content and discussion on social media platforms. iffusion: Cardiff International Festival of Photography 2017 launches its new web platform www. on which full details of events, exhibitions, workshops, venues, and the featured artists will unfold in the build up to the festival opening on 1 May special exhibition at the Wales Millennium Centre, Zeitgeist, features work submitted in response to iffusion s global Open Call. he aim is to capture the spirit of our times, highlight what is really going on, offer new insights and solutions, and challenge the status quo. With our various news feeds latterly dominated by Brexit, rumpism, climate change, poverty, religious intolerance, the migrant and refugee crisis, border control and gentrification, Zeitgeist will interrogate what this all means for the individual and society moving forward. Image /Llun Cassi lexandra We re Family Bydd arddangosfa arbennig yng Nghanolfan y Mileniwm, Zeitgeist, yn dangos gwaith a gyflwynwyd mewn ymateb i lwad gored fyd-eang iffusion.

8 evolution - iffusion 2017 evolution - iffusion 2017 MIGS IFFUSION SYMPOSIUM SYMPOSIWM 05 May / Mai he iffusion conference focuses on two key issues, with contributions from exhibiting artists, architects, designers, cultural theorists and committed urbanists. Building the evolution examines artist involvement in regeneration processes and placemaking, and the tension between societal needs and environmental concerns and a drive to maximise real estate values, including area gentrification and the consequent displacement of residential communities. How to Start a evolution recognises that revolutionary change requires a challenge to the established order, protest and rebellion, risk and experimentation, new ideas and ideologies, and transformational processes. Key figures from countercultural movements from the 1960s to the present day explore the role that art has played in instigating social and political change.
