Cragen Beca is a conch shell trumpet. It was blown to call the legendary character Rebecca and her ‘Daughters’ to action during the infamous Rebecca Riots in Carmarthenshire of the mid-19th century (1839 – 44).
The Cragen Beca project, by artist Kathryn Campbell Dodd, was funded by the Arts Council of Wales in collaboration with Oriel Myrddin Gallery, Carmarthenshire Museum, Young Farmers Clubs of Carmarthenshire, University of Wales Trinity Saint David, Canolfan S4C Yr Egin, RED SHOES Poster Archive and Oriel Bevan Jones.
It culminated in a series of exhibitions, events and a town parade in Carmarthen on Sunday 1 May 2022.
