Abstract:
This article describes exhibiting an interactive art installation about dementia and long-term care at the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA) Partners Forum and Science Days (PFSD), authored from the perspectives of the artist, people with lived experience of dementia and event organizers. We outline examples of collaborating with the Engagement of People with Lived Experience of Dementia (EPLED) Advisory Group to organize the exhibit. We also report evaluation data from diverse audiences, including researchers, trainees and others, demonstrating that the artwork was a highly valued part of the scientific conference, impacting perceptions of dementia and increasing awareness of lived experience engagement in research.
