V&A Dundee is launching a national appeal for everyday tartan objects to be featured in a major exhibition which opens next year. ‘Tartan’ will be a radical new look at one of the world’s best-known textiles, celebrating the global story of the unique pattern.
It will be the first major exhibition on the textile in living memory and ‘expresses tradition, revolt and diversity, inspires playful and provocative design, and connects communities worldwide.’
The curators now need the public’s help to complete the exhibition, by looking through their wardrobes and attics to find tartan objects which express what this pattern and textile means to them.
