In May 2018 I received an Arts Council grant to develop my on going research in to autobiographical memory and clothing in partnership with Worthing Museum and the writer Suzanne Joinson. Since then we have been exploring Worthing Museum’s extensive clothing collection and hearing personal stories of elderly residents at a local care home through a series of workshops. We are interested in how these memories of clothes connect to location, the local landscape, to land, air and sea. The result will be a podcast and an exhibition at the Museum lauching in February 2019.
The subsequent entries will document this research.
