Matia organises a pioneering conference on art, culture and dementia at the Donostia Aquarium

  • The meeting serves as the closing event of the European project DCUM, an initiative that over three years has explored artistic and cultural practice in the field of dementia in four EU countries: Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain.
  • During the event, a group of people with dementia, their families and carers were able to enjoy various photography and dance activities.

On 8 June, the event "Art and culture, a window to the meaning of life in dementia" took place in Donostia, bringing together more than fifty people from different communities in Spain in the auditorium of the Aquarium, where the results and materials generated within the framework of the project 'Dementia in Cultural Mediation' (DCUM) were presented.
