Heipolymnion Returns: Celebrating the Torgoch Through Art and Conservation

Following a successful debut in 2024, Heipolymnion—a powerful immersive installation by artist Sean Harris—returns to Galeri Caernarfon this June.

Developed in collaboration with North Wales Rivers Trust, the work draws attention to the Eryri Torgoch (Arctic charr), a rare freshwater fish found only in a handful of North Wales lakes. Through mesmerising visuals, sound, and storytelling, Heipolymnion explores the fragile balance of life below the surface—and the urgent need to protect the Torgoch’s cold-water habitat in Llyn Padarn.

Exhibition Dates:
5th June – 3rd July 2025

Launch Night – You’re Invited
