Research Abstract:
"We co-designed and piloted 'Festival in a Box', an outreach programme to enable socially isolated people with dementia to engage with and enjoy cultural activities in their homes. It comprised 3-4 weekly home visits, each led by a professional artist to create art works using materials brought in 'the box'. Activities included music, poetry, pottery, crafts and photography. We qualitatively interviewed 13 participants (6 people with dementia, 4 artists, 3 befrienders). Six participants with dementia completed, enjoyed and engaged with the planned visits. Main themes were: engagement, reflection on value of previous cultural activities, precariousness and isolation in current neighbourhood and the importance of a voice and being heard. Befrienders reported their preconceptions of what participants could do were challenged. Artists reported shifts in their preconceptions about dementia and the influence of the project on their professional practice. We propose that the 'Festival in a Box' pilot study suggests a means through which community arts festivals could work with socially isolated people with dementia to contribute to the creation of 'Dementia Friendly Communities'. A larger-scale pilot study is now needed to develop this hypothesis." —Eades, M., K. Lord, et al. (2018).

Memory Exercise:
What word for peace would you choose if you made up your own language? How would you spell "peace" if you had only ever heard the word and never read it? imagine if a cow or a rat ate your only book what words would you teach your children with no way to check the truth of your words would you make up words and meaning Make up a language describe the community that speaks that language what are the words for peace calm quiet tranquil Sometimes it takes more than one word to get the meaning across. It takes a community of peace to write peace in some languages. It is not a bad thing it just takes more people more connections more sounds to call peace into being. Say the word peace in whatever language you would like as loudly as you can. Tell someone about your commitment to peace and to health for yourself and others. |
