Thanks to everyone who visited UCL Public Art's 'Everything is Connected' exhibition over the past few weeks. If you missed it, you can catch a glimpse of the artworks in the link below and will be able to see some of them in the new @UCLIoN and @UKDRI at UCL translational neuroscience centre when it opens! ucl.ac.uk/ion-dri-progra… It was a privilege to develop one of the Arbor knowledge-exchange projects featured in the exhibition - 'Walking in your Footsteps'. With artist @brionycampbell and members of the @RareDementia familial Alzheimer’s disease (FAD) support group, we co-created art to raise awareness of FAD and pay tribute to the enormous contributions that people from families affected by FAD have made, and continue to make, to dementia research. Huge thanks to everyone who participated in this project. We’ve made this little film to share some behind the scenes footage from one of our creative workshops, and the messages at the core of our project. Connections are at the centre of everything we do and now, more than ever, we must keep connecting and collaborating with each other – to improve the pathways people need to navigate, and to step closer towards changing the course of this disease.
