Dementia Studies Project in collaboration with Bradford2025

About

You're invited to attend the official launch of two arts projects carried out with people living with dementia at City Hall in Bradford. Both are part of the University of Bradford's contribution to City of Culture year.  

The first is a display of art by people living with dementia on the theme 'What Brings You Joy in Bradford', while the second, 'Beyond Memory' - funded by The Leap Pioneer Projects - is a mixed-media installation created with the Pathways group for people living with young-onset dementia.

The City Hall showcase event will feature artwork from both exhibitions and a film screening about the Beyond Memory project. The event will run for one day from 10am-5pm. The official launch with short welcome will commence at 1p.m.   

There is no requirement to register for this event.  Please use the Hall Ings entrance into City Hall.
