"Neva". 2017 - present In this film project, people with a dementia are invited to narrate a passage of writing that is ordinarily used to test reading ability. These narrations are the starting point for an exploration of the landscapes set out in the text. the 'Neva' 2018 - present the 'Neva' is a multichannel video installation about dementia, narration and the landscapes of a test. Are the voices of people with dementia diminished by cognitive testing materials? This film demonstrates individual capacities for expression through narration whilst exploring creative, historical and aesthetic qualities hidden in a scientific test of reading. Featuring 6 narrators who encounter a range of challenges with reading; from perceiving letters and words, to speaking them aloud or understanding their meaning, the film aims to highlight retained strengths for communication through bodily gesture, facial intonation and the playful drive to express oneself. The short passage that is narrated in the film is commonly used by neurologists when assessing reading abilities, and it was devised by Prof Elizabeth K Warrington as part of the Queens Square Screening Test for Cognitive Defects. The text includes details from Prof. Warrington’s own personal history and the film creatively explores these names, places and objects in association with the narrations. This project has been funded by the Created Out of Mind residency at Wellcome Collection, London and UCL. The film will be touring throughout 2019, funded by a Wellcome Public Engagement grant.

About Blog Events Team Partners Protocal Minutes Search Results More Field Notes Explain the purpose of the project right at the beginning (more important than the background) Does online / social media (in relation to a public engagement tour) present challenges for consent in the long run? i.e. once it’s out there, it’s out there. It’s important to listen more and ask people to expand when they speak or ask questions. Explain the development of working methods and situate the project in the context of research. Find ways for people to participate early on and throughout (eg, a show of hands) Always check sound levels Be clear about what we want from each audience we work with and why. Carers have a strong interest and stake in how loved ones are represented, it's important to listen to concerns. Ask for both positive and negative feedback – criticality is important. Why is it important for people to get involved (who don’t necessarily have personal ties to dementia)? Do artistic environments create better spaces for opening up? The levels of insight from the carer and the PLWD are different. History taking and taking time for conversation are the most important part of an assessment. Having continuity in appointments with clinicians can act as an important form of support. The MMSE is talked about a lot and I’ve never heard anything positive said about it. Aspects of this project may be inappropriate for people living with dementias. vs Aspects of this project may help communicate the experience of dementias to people who don’t live with them. It is upsetting to (perceive yourself) not to be able to do something. It is incredibly rewarding to overcome that feeling Helping each other out and listening is an important part of that process. People may participate, but not be able to understand consenting process – these people will be excluded from the presentational side of the project (information sealed / closed off). Reading out scripted information is not good – it’s important to be personable. Taking time to get to know each other is really important (parachuting in is ineffective and uncomfortable). What do we mean when we say we are aiming for ‘new forms of assessment’? Researcher notes the challenge of being personable vs getting results when testing (part of professional development?)

ACE Developing Your Creative Practice - Supporting Imagery & Information Please find below some imagery and information in support of my Developing Your Creative Practice application. The proposed work would seek to expand on my knowledge of filmmaking techniques and especially in the use of 16mm equipment. The primary theme and location for this work would be Lincolnshire and the fens - I am interested in the area of the fens which was historically reclaimed from the sea. I want to understand the history of water management in this environment and those who have lived and continue to live here. The below work details some initial exploration of these techniques and themes, including previous experience of filmmaking, working with landscape imagery in Scotland, and people living with rare dementias. Further information is given about projects which have explored water management systems, the land and materials of the fens, and relationships between human and non-human systems. I have also included some links to relevant information about important sites, archives, centres of knowledge and cultural context for the proposed development work.

Research, documentation, conversations and materials produced during the week were consolidated in an exhibition. More Information Here Reading 1 – Old Dykes I Have Known Reading 2 – Punt & Plough Written Text - Dirty Waters Conditions for Ongoingness was a project furthering investigation into the symbiotic nature of human and non-human systems. The exhibition included documentation reflecting on a two-day permaculture workshop led by artist and environmentalist Charles Pryor in October 2017 and new works by invited artists considered our entwined relationship with the environment and with each other.
