A curator's tour of the exhibition Traces of Care will take place at the Tower Foyer Gallery in Dundee on 2026-08-19, led by student curator Shannon Farley, with free admission.
Join student curator Shannon Farley for an informal guided tour of the exhibition Traces of Care in the Tower Foyer Gallery
The exhibition Traces of Care explores connections between historical and contemporary works across different generations. Themes of care, labour, memory, domesticity and visibility are explored, showing how these connections still resonate today. Many of the artists represented in the collections were once students or members of staff at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design (DJCAD), and their work and experiences form an important part of Dundee's creative history. Through these shared themes, the exhibition shows 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.
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.
For this special event, Shannon will give an informal guided tour of the exhibition.
