What’s meaningful
Do you know that there are community programmes that seeks to enrich the lives of persons living with dementia and their caregivers?
De-Adventure under Montfort Care is one such programme and MAELab is proud to showcase some of the artwork by inspiring seniors, who remained active despite suffering from cognitive impairments.
Make a guess on what inspired this artwork! Find your answer at our curation.
While you are at the exhibition, be sure to look out for the featured diary artwork ‘Stop Chewing’ by Sia Joo Hiang, where she documented her father’s journey living with dementia.
We’ve dedicated some of the walls to showcase some of Mind Science Centre’s key research on Art, Choral singing and Tea Drinking over the years. The education component of this curation seeks to create awareness on the potential interventions we can engage in to mitigate the effects of ageing and prevent the onset of dementia. So, do keep a look out for them as well!
