Utopias Bach, GwyrddNi, Bangor University and the LORE School invite you to help create our

Siarter y Coed/Charter of the Trees

1-4pm BST

@ Pontio Arts and Innovation Centre Deiniol Road Bangor LL57 2TQ and online (ZOOM)

Pa hawliau mae coed eu heisiau? Pa hawliau sydd ganddyn nhw? Pa hawliau allai fod ganddyn nhw? Pa goed allwn ni helpu? Beth os nad yw coed eisiau hawliau?

Mae’r rhain i gyd yn gwestiynau pwysig yr hoffem eu gofyn i feddwl am ffyrdd y gallwn wneud defnydd o’r gyfraith sydd gennym eisoes, i greu Siarter y Coed i ddiogelu hawliau coed y gallwn yn bersonol eu caru a’u hadnabod, a’r rheini i gyd tu hwnt.

Mae’r sesiwn tair awr hon ar hawliau coed, fel rhan o Ysgol Arbrofol Synnwyr Coed Utopias Bach, wedi’i hysbrydoli gan Chyngor Pawb, yn gyfle i gamu y tu allan i’n ffurf ddynol a cheisio cynrychioli ewyllysiau a dymuniadau bodau eraill. Daw ysbrydoliaeth hefyd o gynulliadau dinasyddion y Extinction Rebellion a chynulliadau hinsawdd Gwyrddni.

O fewn hyn, dymunwn wahodd pob creadur, pa un bynag ai arborel ai dim, i ymuno a dysgwyl am eu hiawnderau, yr hyn a all eu llên, a'u cyfraith, ei ddysgu i ni; a sut y gallwn eiriol drostynt drwy ail-ddychmygu ac ailddechrau'r fframweithiau cyfreithiol sydd gennym.

Mae'r digwyddiad yn un hybrid, ac mae dolen ar gael i'r rhai sy'n dymuno ymuno y tu hwnt i fyd lleoliad Pontio, ym Mangor.

What rights do trees want? What rights do they have? What rights could they have? Which trees can we help? What if trees don't want rights?

These are all important questions that we would like to pose to think of ways that we can make use of the law that we already have, to create a Siarter y Coed to protect rights of trees that we may personally love and know, and all those beyond.

This three hour session on the rights of trees, as part of Utopias Bach’s Tree Sense Experimental School, is inspired by the Council of All Beings, is a chance to step outside of our human form and seek to represent the wills and desires of other beings. Inspiration is also taken from the citizens' assemblies of Extinction Rebellion and the climate assemblies of GwyrddNi.

Within this, we would like to invite all creatures, whether arboreal or none, to join and learn of their rights, what their lore, and law, can teach us; and how we may advocate for them by re-imagining and re-awakening the legal frameworks we have.

The event is hybrid, and there is a link available to those who wish to join beyond the realms of the venue Pontio, in Bangor.

This event is free but requires booking!
