Newport Museum & Gallery plays host to this documentary-like photographic response to a series of oral history interviews, conducted across the Gwent Levels by Marsha O’Mahony and her team of volunteers.

In their words, and in these images by photographers Emma Drabble and Nanette Hepburn, she hopes to capture voices and memories, in danger of being lost.

The legacy of this work will help preserve and interpret the living history of this fascinating, often overlooked corner of Wales, giving the community a voice and a place in the history of this landscape.
