Between February-March 2025, six University of Dundee Humanities students were selected to be writers-in-residence at the V&A Dundee.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

The residents each spent one week working in a dedicated space in the museum, making creative responses to A Fragile Correspondence<\/em><\/a>, a major international exhibition looking at intersections of land, language and architecture in the Scottish Highlands, Islands and Lowlands. They were asked to interpret the idea of \u2018correspondence\u2019 and to consider how they might extend or re-shape what it means to correspond with the world around us. \u00a0The selected students were Amelia Convey, Arianna de Prosperis, Ayanna Cullen, Hannah Hamilton, Valeriia Patlakh and Timika Sukhai.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

The residents were selected by a panel of members of the V&A Dundee\u2019s Young People\u2019s Collective (YPC), with guidance from staff from the University of Dundee and V&A Dundee. The residency was supported in a work-in-progress sharing with feedback from V&A curators, University of Dundee staff and members of YPC, and residents contributed to a podcast produced by YPC and published by V&A Dundee.<\/p>\n

Listen to the podcast on V&A Dundee\u2019s website<\/a>. Samples of the students’ work can be found at the end of this blog.<\/p>\n
