Pictures at an Exhibition: Art meets the Science of Alzheimer’s
Pictures at an Exhibition: Art meets the Science of Alzheimer’s is a programme of projects, culminating in a unique seminar, exploring the experience of dementia and the arts.
Renowned composer Ian Wilson and members of the Irish Chamber Orchestra (ICO) lead by Kenneth Rice are in residence in the hospital for three months. Visual artist, Lucia Barnes, also completed a residency earlier this year where she worked with people with dementia and their carers and created work in collaboration with them.
The residencies will culminate in a unique seminar, Arts and Alzheimers, to be held on Wednesday November 28th 230 - 530pm at the Royal College of Physicians Ireland.Wilson’s new work will be performed by the ICO and Barnes’ art will be on exhibition. Composition and fine art students are an integral component of this project as they learn about the role of arts in health-care and with particular reference to patients with dementia.
The seminar will explore arts and dementia, particularly the role of the arts in understanding and supporting the experiences of people with dementia. This project is supported by the Meath Foundation and is a Dublin City of Science event. Tickets will be limited.
