We Are Cardiff is a voluntary project where we’re collecting the stories of people that live in this fine capital city of Wales. Whatever your story, however you ended up living here, whatever your job (or not), what you love (or hate) about the city, we want to hear it all.
Cardiff is a little city, but at the same time, it’s a great one. You encounter any number of different nationalities on a daily basis – you see the interaction between traditional Welsh culture and its English counterpart. You see roadsigns in Welsh first, English second. We have a resident circus. We have sandy beaches and waterfalls and castles and caves within driving distances. We have abandoned nuclear bunkers, hidden tunnels underneath the city centre, an enormous stadium, a beautiful museum, gorgeous parks and old Roman forts. We have the world’s oldest record shop, coastline rich in fossils and a colourful gay pride festival. Most of all, we have a lot of interesting people that inhabit the city. This website is about them.
We are unveiling the stories of the people who inhabit this fair place, through the stories or poems they write, and through pictures of them in different parts of their city.

We Are Cardiff is run by the good folks of hack/flash, a collective that works on community art projects in Cardiff. Visit the hack/flash blog here, or see the the blogs of two members here Croatoan Design and here An Anti-Social Experiment.
