Where the Arts Belong: Making Sense (Of It All)

Francisco is among a group of leading artists involved with our Where the Arts Belong project which involves the artists working creatively with people living with dementia. Bluecoat's exhibition Where the Arts Belong: Making Sense (Of It All) showcased the work the artists created during and as a result of their time involved with the project so far.

He had two pieces of work in the show, a beautiful poem about his family’s experience of their grandmother’s aging and an audio work that features a collage of words and music created from Belong at Home sessions with participants. Sessions were delivered online and at Grosvenor Museum Chester.
