Future of Fauna They/them

Future of Fauna are an art collective, birthed from the imagination of Megan Elinor and Kaylum Cosgrave, deep in the hills of rural Mid Wales. They represent the new wave of folklore, synthesising tradition and our fast-paced, ever-changing modern world.

Our latest Walkabout project – Arian and the Weavers:

“If you want to thrive, keep a spider alive…”

An interactive walkabout performance with Celtic folklore and mythology at its heart. Inspired by Arianrhod the spider from ‘The Mabinogion,’ known for her silver wheel, symbolising the ever-turning circles of time and fate.

Today, she is reimagined as ‘Arian’. She and her weavers invite the people of Uk festivals to discover their fates and weave them into her loom, and thus the fabric of time itself. A collaborative tapestry full of stories and intertwining fates – forging bonds of community in an ever-more isolated world.

Keep your eye out for the wonderful Welsh weavers; listen for echoes of our ancient language; and let yourself be drawn into the world of Arian the spider.
