[In Context] Beyond art, beyond sciences: the many faces of dementia

Beyond Memories is the fourth instalment in a series of exhibitions by the London Brain Project, a collective of scientists and artists who aim to engage and educate the public about neurological diseases though art. Beyond Memories specifically aims to illuminate lesser known aspects of dementia, and to dispel stereotypes surrounding the subject. London Brain Project co-director Georgia Pitts says, “I think it's important for people to know that ‘dementia’ itself isn't a disease. It's a word used to describe a set of symptoms caused by different neurological disorders…many people don't know that, and it's important for us to be aware of it.”
