Traces of Care opens on 3 September 2026 at the Tower Foyer Gallery in Dundee. This exhibition explores themes including care, labour, memory, domesticity and visibility for a free charge.
An art exhibition exploring themes of care, labour, memory, domesticity and visibility
This exhibition explores connections between historical and contemporary works across different generations. Themes of care, labour, memory, domesticity and visibility will be present, showing how these connections still resonate today. Many of the artists represented in the collections were once students or members of staff, and their work and experiences form an important part of Dundee's creative history. Through these shared themes, the exhibition will show how artists leave identifiable traces of themselves in their work and how artworks can act as records of lived experience, connecting generations through shared concerns and perspectives. Visitors are invited to reflect on how certain themes of care, labour and lived experience continue to be carried through generations of practice.
Curated by DJCAD MFA Curatorial Practice student Shannon Farley, the exhibition brings together material from the University’s Museum Collections with additional works on loan.
Many of the artworks on show are part of the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design Collection cared for by the University of Dundee Museums, which is now Recognised by the Scottish Government as a Collection of National Significance.
The Tower Building is open Monday-Friday 9.30am-7pm (last entry is usually 5pm).
