Beyond / Tu Hwnt is a communities-uniting collection of contemporary Welsh Deaf and Disabled voices.
By celebrating the diversity and uniqueness of our voices, we aim to fill the void where our stories and experiences always should have existed.
Our aim in bringing our poetry, non-fiction and fiction together is to show that our work exists in all its power beyond the barriers and that it always has existed here in Wales. A collection of work by Deaf and Disabled writers shouldnt be radical, yet it is.
Mae Beyond / Tu Hwnt yn gasgliad syn uno cymunedau o leisiau Cymreig cyfoes Byddar ac Anabl.
Drwy ddathlu amrywiaeth ac unigrywiaeth ein lleisiau, ein nod yw llenwir bwlch lle y dylai ein straeon an profiadau fod wedi bod erioed.
Ein nod wrth gasglun barddoniaeth, ein llenyddiaeth ffeithiol an ffuglen ynghyd yw dangos bod ein gwaith yn bodoli yn ei holl nerth y tu hwnt ir rhwystrau, ai fod wedi bod yma yng Nghymru erioed. Ni ddylai casgliad o waith gan awduron Byddar ac Anabl fod yn radical, ac eto dyna ydyw.
