Recently our Learning team joined @coboltwithlove in the museum to work with communities from across Dundee in a series of creative co-design workshops. 🧠

#VADThinkingOutLoud

The groups worked together in the galleries, museum spaces and around our plaza to answer questions, sketch, collage, create BIG designs and imagine how the outdoor space could be transformed this summer. 😎 ☀️

Thank you to @CapabilityScot, Front Lounge, @HelmDundee, our Young People’s Collective and the local skater community for sharing ideas and getting involved! 🙌🏽

Here's what the community co-designers had to say about taking part:

"This is great, my imagination just goes wild!” 🤯

“I felt that I could voice my opinions and they were actually listened to, it was nice to do some drawing and be creative too.” ✨

#VADThinkingOutLoud

“I wasn’t expecting there would be biscuits!” 🍪

"I’m going to look into applying to art school.” 🎨 🖌️

“I’d like to make the mural playful so that people will keep coming back to see something different.” 😄

“I hope the mural is something big and bright and makes people feel welcomed into the space and the museum.” 🔴🟡🔵

“The timing of this opportunity is serendipitous. What we do as a group this summer is more important than ever.” ❤️

We can’t wait to see the new @coboltwithlove co-designed mural for our plaza, coming soon!⌛️

Hello hello!

Bringing you a little surprise on this bright sunny day from Costa del Dundee 😎🌞

The @coboltwithlove mural for our plaza is coming along nicely with the help of our community co-designers🖌 #VADThinkingOutLoud

The typography was inspired by the lettering of the old Olympia and shapes designed by the community co-designers 🔺🔷

Take a look at the ‘M’ and ‘W’ resembling the design of the Tay Rail Bridge 🌉 #VADThinkingOutLoud

“Paint, sun, getting to be a part of a V&A Dundee project - what’s not to love.” 😄

“If I wasn’t here I’d be in my room doing nothing. Its great to have this opportunity to get out!” 🙌 #VADThinkingOutLoud

We can’t wait for you to see the final result soon! 🤩
