TWO new murals produced by disabled Indonesian and Welsh artists for cycling charity Pedal Power<\/a> are now on display in Cardiff Bay as part of an international artistic collaboration intended to promote international disability culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artists Nano Warsono and Butong Idar of Jogja Disability Arts travelled to Cardiff to work with South Wales artist Andrew Bolton on the new murals, which are now on display outside Pedal Power\u2019s Cardiff Bay site. The group also worked with other disabled artists from South Wales on the collaborative project.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Bolton, Mr Warsono and Mr Idar put together the original designs for the project in online workshops before coming together in Cardiff to work on the murals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The purpose of our collaboration is to strengthen and celebrate connections between disabled artists around the world,” Mr Bolton told The Cardiffian. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pedal Power, a Cardiff-based organisation working to make cycling more inclusive and accessible for people of all ages and abilities, hosted an opening for the murals on November 11. Gabe Taylor, engagement officer for Pedal Power, spoke to\u00a0The Cardiffian\u00a0<\/em>about Pedal Power\u2019s experience hosting Mr Warsono and Mr Idar in Cardiff.<\/p>\n\n\n
