Created out of mind:changing perceptions of dementia through art & culture

Created Out of Mind is a team aiming to explore, challenge and shape perceptions and understanding of dementias through science and the creative arts. The team will explore what dementia means to us all, challenge traditional definitions and common misconceptions, and unlock what we can learn about art, consciousness and the brain from the experiences of people living with different the dementias.

Launched in October 2016, and working over a period of 22 months, Created out of Mind are the second residents of The Hub- a unique, creative space at Wellcome Collection in London. Starting with people with dementias, Created out of Mind is an interdisciplinary team of scientists, visual artists, musicians, broadcasters, clinicians and carers.
