Designed for people with dementia and their caregivers, this programme aims to provide creative experiences in sensory exploration while promoting moments of interaction, sharing and connection with the Other (participants and mediators). 
 

All the sessions begin with visits to the temporary exhibitions on display at MAAT, which. These will inspire conversations in which the past, present, and future freely intersect, revealing more about each participantng the session, challenges will be set - practical, experimental, intuitive and related to the exhibitions - inviting participants to summon and materialise their creativity and imagination. 

 

Above all, the aim is to strengthen and create new bonds based on recognition, curiosity and affection.

 

Participation is free of charge and does not require previous knowledge of art or a habit of visiting museums or other cultural spaces.
