Project:
‘Young People’s Collective’
Art Installation at V&A Dundee.
A 12 week extra-curricular project for Dundee’s V&A in response the museum’s exhibition ‘A Fragile Correspondence’ in March 2025.
Overview:
One of my side quests in 2025 was working as part of the YPC (Young People’s Collective) at the V&A Dundee. This project gave us an opportunity to learn about, and make our own response to the museum’s exhibition ‘A Fragile Correspondence’.
Throughout the project we had the opportunity to participate in workshops with artists and curators and to hear about some of their artististic processes first hand on a site visit to Ravenscraig. In response we decided to create something interactive for visitors to engage with. This led us to work with ‘Soul of Fire’ going from tree to charcoal to make drawing materials that we could use for our installation.
Our reflection of stewardship within the natural landscape culminated in March 2025 with an interactive mural installation that prompted some wonderful conversations about how we engage with nature. It was an absolute pleasure to be part of this iteration of the collective and consider art, design and audience interaction in a whole different way to my usual game development practice.
