Huw Alden Davies, Wales

Xennial: Dreaming in Color is an attempt to create a new perspective of Welsh-ness at the dawn of a Metamodernist era. At the same time, providing a rare and detailed insight into one of Wales' lesser explored and culturally rich communities.

An artist and photographer of the documentary kind, Huw Alden Davies explores the lines of visual and written narratives, studying concepts such as a sense of place and cultural identity. While pushing the boundaries of visual media, his work is focused largely on recording the history of his village, Tumble, part of the Gwendraeth Valley, in South West Wales.

As a Lecturer and Program Director for BA Photography at Carmarthen School of Art, he continues to develop his teaching practice coinciding with his work as a documentary photographer, exhibiting artist, and bookmaker; pursuing a wide range of projects investigating visual concepts and theory through traditional and contemporary processes, while informing his discipline as professional and educator.
