Fostering cultural belonging
Tartan is a major new exhibition at the The V&A Dundee that celebrates the iconic Scottish fabric.
It features 300 objects from around the world from its early history through to contemporary innovations. A section of the exhibition is about Tartan and Identity, reflecting that tartan is part of Scottish identity or signifies Scottish heritage. In The People’s Tartan, the exhibition showcases objects crowdsourced through a public call-out. Read more in this interview with the director.
We find this a good example for how museums contribute to wellbeing in relation to ‘Cultural Belonging’ and to ‘Civic Contribution’ - adding to a communities’ sense of belonging, and including the community’s voice.
