Mick Antoniw is a man whose life has become a bridge between cultures, peoples, and generations. As a Member of the Senedd for Pontypridd and the son of Ukrainian and Danish immigrants, he has carried his Ukrainian roots from a working-class childhood to the high offices of Welsh politics.
At Caerphilly Library, several paintings by Ukrainian artist Olesia Miftahova hang on the walls—works she donated to thank the community that supported her family. Olesia is a mother of three who arrived in Wales last year and has since established herself as an active member of the local arts community while gaining international recognition for her work.
