Pen Llŷn artists Junko Mori and John Egan initiated an ambitious project titled Coed / Coexist. This project drew attention to trees and woodlands, exploring our broader connections, desires, and reliance on these ecosystems while linking community, creativity, and environmental stewardship.
The launch of Coed / Coexist was a day-long symposium that brought together cultural, scientific, and local perspectives, sharing individual interests and knowledge. The event was designed to ignite ideas and act as a catalyst for the future development of the project, with aspirations to celebrate the local area and the communities based in Pen Llŷn.
It was envisaged that beyond the day of the symposium, Junko Mori, John Egan, and Plas Glyn-y-Weddw would develop Coed / Coexist into an ambitious collaborative proposal to showcase new creative work and offer public and community engagement in and around Plas Glyn-y-Weddw in 2026.
