Some of you might be aware that I've been mapping the location and condition of #CofiwchDryweryn murals for the past few years.

I've got a window of opportunity to update the map today, so if you happen to know of any examples that might be new, removed or altered, send them my way.

Here is the link to the map and how it looked when I last updated it about a month ago.

Cofiwch Dryweryn mapping project. – Google My Maps

An attempt to map all existing and recorded examples of murals connected to the Cofiwch Dryweryn 'movement', and monitor the condition of examples. This is a work in progress and will change on a regular basis. We would benefit from additional entries, images and updates. A Welsh language translation of entries would also be welcomed.

LB: This is an absolutely fascinating dive into something of which I was previously completely unaware. I'd never heard of these murals, I'd never heard of the flooding of Tryweryn Valley.

Which is probably because I'm English, and as such know almost nothing of Welsh history, because we're just not taught it.

The Welsh have been treated appallingly by the English. Just like so many other nationalities...

@DJDarren glad to hear it's of interest. Happy to direct you towards some articles (and lighter YouTube stuff) that I've done on the subject.

@DJDarren cool - so this is probably the most relevant article on the contemporary tradition: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/354321144_Contemporising_Custom_the_re-imagining_of_the_Mari_Lwyd

@DJDarren and then this is a very foggy introduction video to another paper: https://youtu.be/GMnUlo7phy4 There are some more videos there exploring the Mari in popular culture as well.
