Awaken was an exhibition curated by Lily Vaughan from The Argyll Collection - an astounding collection cared for by Argyll & Bute Council. From January - April 2024, Lily worked as Exhibition Trainee with Culture Heritage & Arts Assembly Argyll & Isles (CHARTS).
Through sight, touch, smell, taste, and sound, Lily aimed to 'awaken' visitors senses and enable them to experience The Argyll Collection differently.
The Argyll Collection was established in 1960 by author Naomi Mitchison, and Argyll & Bute County Council Art Advisor Jim Tyre. This incredible initiative is now the focus of Reconnected, a CHARTS led project aiming to review the importance of the collection and make recommendations for an impactful future.
