A Creative Conversation on Design Objects & Dementia Things : DementiaLand from Hong Kong and Beyond
Enable Foundation kick-started our new SIE funded capacity building programme in spring 2020. Dementia Hong Kong aims to engage cross-disciplinary teams to co-create a series of "Dementia Things" to address everyday issues of dementia as well as sharing dementia stories to raise public awareness of dementia.
As part of the launch event of Dementia Hong Kong. Enable foundation team will conduct a creative dialogue with Dr Sarah Teasley, a social historian who works at the interface of history and design research, about the process and meaning of co-creating design objects (empathetic tools) with Hong Kong young and old citizens, people with dementia and their carers, social service providers.
