Sunday 12 July
11:00 on Church Island (Menai Bridge, Anglesey)
meet at St Tysilio’s Church
free event
Collaborative art, performance and poetry in response to the limestone of the Menai Bridge and its wider ecological connections.
Void Fraction is an ongoing collaboration between artists Mari Rose Pritchard and Julie Upmeyer an artistic exploration of limestone, limestone quarries and their many byproducts. Here, they highlight limestone as the raw material of the Menai Suspension Bridge through sculpture and performance presented alongside poems from Zoë Skoulding ’s book 'Do I Look Like an Atmosphere?', which traces limestone through castle walls, mussel shells and interconnected lives of the north Wales coast.
With thanks to the Cyfeillion Ynys Tysilio Friends of Church Island and Menai Heritage for research material and the opportunity to work in this marvellous location.
Please check the entire programme for the Ynys Tysillio Festival 2026, held from the 7-12 July, 2026.
