Fun side fact - the ending "io" makes things a verb in Welsh (so pont, bridge, pontio, to bridge e.g.). Dot-io URLs are amusing to us ☺️

The Main Arts Building of Bangor University at the top of the hillside -'Coleg ar y Bryn'( the College on the hill) in Welsh. It is a Grade I listed University building in the Collegiate Tudor style with Arts and Crafts influences. Designed by architect Henry Hare, it was completed in 1911. To the left further down the hill is part of a more modern building called Pontio ( 'to bridge' in Welsh) a centre for Arts and Culture, Innovation, Education and Community. In the centre next to Pontio and below the university is a lime green fibreglass artwork installed in 2015 called Caban by Dutch artist Josep van Lieshout. He set out to make the connection between his art and the traditions and culture of the slate quarries in North Wales. Traditionally the caban (hut) was a place where quarrymen met at break time in the slate quarries and mines to eat their lunch, drink their stewed tea, debate politics and matters of the day, sing and even hold mini eisteddfods. It attracted praise and criticism in equal measure and was removed in late 2022. Funded by quarrymen and farmers who wanted to give the local people of North Wales the chance to access higher education, Bangor University first opened its doors on 18 October 1884.

Love this. Only a couple more weeks of Easter fury. Mainly from people who never set foot in a church of course.

Feel free to quote the Easter story in Latin to anyone moaning - Crucifixus etiam pro nobis sub Pontio Pilato, passus et sepultus est et resurrexit tertia die, secundum Scripturas.

If you’re in the Bangor area, come to Pontio on the 26/3/25. The incredible artist Jeremy Deller will be screening some of his films, and engaging in a discussion of rave, resistance and Welsh magic. And it’s free!

@bangoruniversity.bsky.social does look nice in the night, though.
Bangor University's Main Arts building - a gothic pile which brings Liverpool Cathedral to mind - standing on top of a hill overlooking the town. It is uplit in orange lights. In the foreground is the Pontio arts centre and some trees.
