PHOTOS: Dress the World Residential

Up to 30 young people from across the East Midlands joined The Mighty Creatives (TMC) for a three-day residential to develop engagement of three 2012 museum exhibits.


The residential at Quorn Hall saw young people, who have worked with museums across the three counties, come together to research and develop visitors experience to the Dress the World exhibitions.


Dress the World exhibitions will celebrate the global exchanges that have shaped, and continue to shape, fashion in the East Midlands.


The exhibitions will be held at Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery, Northampton Museum and Art Gallery and New Walk Museum and Art Gallery in Leicester.

TMC are working with Dress the World, which is part of the Cultural Olympiad, to ensure youth engagement is present throughout the projects.


Nottingham-based coaching company, Light Beam, led the young people on a team building treasure hunt for the first day of the residential last Friday (August 19).

On the second day, the young people were given a guided tour of Snibston Discovery Park and had the chance to explore the fashion gallery.
The young people developed the skills to enable them to curate and engage  visitors around museum exhibits.
