Owen Daily's posters drew upon his teaching experience with PACE projects and young people from Dundee's peripheral housing schemes. Using public domain images, Daily's posters reflected on experiences of disenfranchised young people through the established visual languages of power – including heraldry, land ownership and the city's rich naval history. The exhibition asks us to imagine how the city's public history and personal voice could be used to generate new narratives and understanding for Dundee. It does so by opening up conversation about shared space, place and belonging in the city. If you'd like to know more about opportunities to exhibit in the context of Sharing Not Hoarding please contact us.
