DNEMEZ PTRIPEKESVEN

How can we meet the increasing challenges posed by dementia in our society? How can we support people suffering from dementia so that they are able to participate in social life for as long as possible?

DNEMEZ PTRIPEKESVEN addresses these issues in different ways and creates a dialogue between the audience and presentations: International guests form the fields of science, art, design, museums and social organizations will discuss their research findings and daily practice in the context of the artistic research project D.A.S. Dementia. Arts. Society.

The goal of the project is to employ artistic and design-based methods in order to raise awareness of people suffering from dementia as well as to offer them a new perspective on their own abilities and social life. The research team will present their preliminary findings in the context of DNEMEZ PTRIPEKESVEN.
