This presentation featured the work, reflections and learning so far of Deepness, based in the Western Isles, who are coordinating people-living-with-dementia-led peer research exploring the impact of participation in creative activities on experiences of agency, autonomy and mental wellbeing. This is funded by the Ideas Fund and culminated in the first lived-experience led Dementia Arts Festival in Inverness in November 2023, co-developing a Dementia Arts Manifesto. You can find more about their project here, more about their festival here and their website here.
