Event Atwater Library and Computer Centre, Montréal

Scottish Diaspora Tapestry

Scenography for the Scottish Diaspora Tapestry exhibition at Montréal's Atwater Library, including the design of a permanent hanging system.

The bibliothèque Atwater presented the splendid and very telling Scottish Diaspora Tapestry to the public in 2016, during the world tour of this collection. The exhibition consisted of 300 pieces hand-embroidered by artists from the Scottish diaspora all over the world and illustrating their history.

On this occasion, Diane Bernier Design (DBD) designed the permanent hanging system for the Bibliothèque et centre informatique Atwater and directed the staging of the exhibition. This initiated an ongoing collaboration between DBD and the library for its temporary exhibitions.
