Illustrating Everyday Life

This Beyond the Text submission presents a series of three graphic magazines (zines) as part of a research project about how people living with dementia experience their neighbourhoods and communities of place. The zines were produced through a collaboration of a graphic artist, academics and a small group of people living with dementia and/or family carers. The zines were designed to reflect the wider findings of the research. The idea to produce the zines came from people living with dementia themselves who were keen that the research findings reached beyond at academic audience, while at the same time were not turned into 'yet another leaflet about dementia'. We have published the findings from the research in a number of academic formats, but have not yet had the opportunity to showcase the zines to a wider, and more diverse audience beyond our circle of research supporters, stakeholders and research participants
