Short film by: MONA Productions
Cymru yn Fenis / Wales in Venice
Sownd: Manon Awst + Dylan Huw
9 May – 22 November 2026
Istituto Santa Maria della Pietà, Venice
This short film introduces Sownd, the project representing Wales at the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia 2026, one of the world’s most significant contemporary art events.
Sownd is an immersive installation exploring connections between landscape, language and material. The artists bring together natural elements from north Wales and the Venetian lagoon, combining them with sound, sculpture and text to create a single, interconnected environment shaped by the historic venue. Alongside the Venice exhibition, live events in Wales invite audiences to experience the landscapes behind the work directly.
The short film will be on display until 22 November, in the Oriel Myrddin café space.
