MA Creative Arts Student wins Design West Scholarship
TU Dublin School of Creative Arts student, Sarah Morel has won a scholarship to Design West http://designwest.eu/, an international summer design school located in the beautiful village of Letterfrack in Connemara. For one week, participants will get the opportunity to work with leading Irish and international designers from renowned studios. Unplugging from our hectic everyday working lives—commuting, cell phones, deadlines, media saturation—participants will immerse themselves in the wild and rugged Connemara landscape and use it both as a mode of research and as a source of inspiration.
Sarah is a student on the MA Visual Communication pathway, supervised by Clare Bell and Brenda Duggan. Her work so far has begun to focus on exploring, through visual means, issues of identity and representation raised by her own family connections to the indigenous people of Canada, in particular, to the Huron-Wendat nation.
The scholarship was generously sponsored by Atosú, https://atosu.ie/ a new Dublin-based Leadership Institute offering creative training to people who want to grow and develop themselves and their organisations through sharing their experiences and stories. We were delighted to welcome Atosú M.D., Colm Kennedy, to the 2021 DSCA Graduate Show at the new East Quad campus.
The School would like to thank Colm and Atosú for their generosity. We would also like to thank Design West, especially its founder Conor Clarke, for offering this fantastic opportunity to our students and for his long-standing support of the MA Creative Arts programme.
