In 2019 we were invited to collaborate with Aberystwyth Arts Centre on a HEFCW funded project called Cartref/Home. The project was designed to reach people of all ages in rural Ceredigion communities and encourage connection between them, as well as allowing students from the university to lead community workshops and artistic activities following guidance from professional arts practitioners. We were pleased to work regularly with communities from Tregaron Family Centre, Bryntirion Residential Home, Ysgol Henry Richard and Ysgol Pontrhydfendigaid throughout the year. The project culminated in a three week exhibition in Aberystwyth Arts Centre which included a rich variety of work including films, original music, storytelling, tepees, photography, carpentry, sculptures, poetry and paintings, as well as a community celebration of all the participants' hard work over the seven months. 

Awaken Productions provided the training sessions for the student artists in community arts facilitation, led the performing arts aspects of the community workshops, participated in the artistic residencies and supported the curation of the final exhibition.
