Humans and animals live together on a small planet. Our relationship is one of shared needs and mutual coexistence, and yet our life together is often far from peaceful. From poodles in frocks to beasts of burden, from noble steeds to the dove of peace, we give them love and shelter, destroy their habitats, worship them, eat them, make representations of them and buy and sell them, among thousands of other interactions.

Juxtaposing works from the Ceramics Collection with artefacts and representations from the world of humans, this exhibition suggests dialogues between different animals and between animals and humans as a step towards exploring the question: what is the real relationship between our world and the world of animals?

Mae pobl a chreaduriaid yn cydfyw â’i gilydd ar blaned fechan. Er ein bod yn rhannu llawer o’r un anghenion mae’r berthynas rhyngom yn aml yn un stormus. O gwn anwes mewn cotiau ffwr i anifeiliaid pwn, yn gaseg flaen neu’n golomen hedd, rydym yn cynnig cariad a chysur i anifeiliaid, yn dinistrio eu cynefinoedd, yn eu haddoli, eu bwyta, yn llunio celfweithiau amdanynt ac yn eu prynu a’u gwerthu. Rydym hefyd yn ymwneud â nhw mewn miloedd o ffyrdd eraill.

Trwy gyfosod gweithiau o’r Casgliad Cerameg gydag arteffactau a delweddau o fyd pobl, mae’r arddangosfa hon yn awgrymu deialog rhwng gwahanol anifeiliaid a rhwng anifeiliaid a phobl. Mae’n gam tuag at archwilio’r cwestiwn: sut beth mewn gwirionedd yw’r berthynas rhwng ein byd ni a byd anifeiliaid?
