A taste of culture

14th May 2007

Seeing things from a totally new point of view can open up a whole new way of thinking about them, and Yann Arthus-Bertrand's intention in the Earth From the Air exhibition is to encourage debate about our surroundings that can easily become just the background to the more immediate things in life.

His collection of 120 aerial photos will be available to access 24 hours a day throughout June and July outside the Waterfront Museum and are linked to events all over Swansea that will hopefully encourage change and debate about sustainable living.

Seeing Shakespeare from a new point of view, Oystermouth Castle in the Mumbles hosts two Outdoor Shakespeare events this summer.

Much Ado About Nothing on the 6 and 7 June tells the story of Hero and Claudio and the antics leading up to their wedding.

On the 15 and 16 June, As You Like It is the story of love between asylum seekers. In the historic setting of the castle the classic plays are bound to be a dynamic treat for culture vultures.
