unus multorum exhibition concept

The theme is ‘Unus Multorum’ a Latin phrase meaning ‘one of many’. It was used in Roman times as a neutral pseudonym when publishing texts anonymously.

In a world 7.7 billion strong, there is certainly power in a multitude, strength in numbers. We form groups and societies, creating our identity through nation building, tribal structures, brand loyalty, subcultures and sports teams. We find pleasure in repetitive patterns, comfort in group ritual. Collective action requires us to focus on the things we have in common, rather than our individuality.

Unus Multorum was meant to have opened as a physical exhibition with projects, installations and artist multiples from 111 creative people. Transformed by the global pandemic, it has evolved into a time-less project, gently unfolding over the course of the year inside of Plas Bodfa and in the digital realm.

The world has suddenly changed - how we react and interact with one another.  We’re facing a global pandemic that will cause us all to face losses. People are being asked to ‘self-isolate’ for an unspecified period of time, with an unknown impact on personal wellbeing. Already people are feeling isolated and alone. For these reasons we feel it is important to continue with our project, albeit with a different structure, creating a safe environment to create and engage with those around us.
