To celebrate the Year of Stories 2022 and funded by the William Syson Foundation, New Fables was a ten-week art project that aimed to reconnect our young people with the strange and unusual tales of Dundee's social history.
During the project, our young people visited a range of historic landmarks in Dundee alongside creative sessions exploring why we use fables and art to understand the world around us. These sessions culminated in 4 printmaking workshops at the Dundee Contemporary Arts where our young people created their own print inspired by the stories told during New Fables combined with their experiences.
Below is our New Fables Zine which covers the whole project including, what the project was a about, where we went, what we made and why we did it!
