A series of films giving a voice to people living with dementia
As part of our Creative Spaces project, artists have produced
films and animations to interpret poetry written with people
with dementia in Cornwall. Sensory Trust and FEAST commissioned
artists - Brett Harvey, Richard Liddicott, Andrew de Freitas,
Paul Farmer, Daryl Waller, Ian Bucknole and Ruth
Purdy, chosen for their innovative approach with digital
media. The digitial works give people living with dementia
the chance to share their experiences and stories with their
loved ones and the wider world.
The commissions are being used to improve understanding of
dementia for those in early diagnosis, carers working in homes
and in healthcare settings, young people as well as the wider
public. They will help communicate the importance of supporting
people living with dementia through visits and social activities.
The digital work is being shared online, at workshops, in
care homes and at conferences across the UK, do get in touch
if you can help us share more widely.
