Artful Dementia Lab
by Ann Therese Lotherington and Lilli Mittner (Norway)
The Artful Dementia Research Lab at UiT The Arctic University of Norway conducts research on gendered dimensions of ageing, dementia, and what it means to live a good life. Through art-experiments within situated art interventions as a mode of artscience knowledge creation the lab contributes to innovative understandings of
- meaningful lives, welfare and well-being
- mutual relations between people living in difference together
- prevention of loneliness through everyday life experiences
- complementing medical and pharmacological understandings of aging and dementia.
With a new conceptual repertoire Artful Dementia Research Lab promotes research-based cultural and societal change.
