We're excited to launch Lucy Smith’s essay, This Space is for the Curious, made as an outcome from a writing residency with us. The creative essay is the result of conversations with artist-run collectives and programmes across Wales about their structures and ideas.

The project envisions a museum's website as it might appear 40 years in the future. Visitors are invited to explore this platform, where a new ‘exhibition’ will be added to the ‘Events’ page each week for the duration of the residency.
