Summary:

Dementia is a term that encompasses a wide range of symptoms. In Europe alone about 10 million people live with dementia. Where health policy and medical approaches reach their limits, art and design strategies can open up new perspectives for people living with dementia – in terms of their abilities and circumstances and their social environment. This interdisciplinary handbook is aimed at people working and researching in the field of dementia. It offers insights into the possibilities and limitations of artistic and art-related interventions in relation to dementia. This publication brings together contributions from the disciplines of design, architecture, and art, music, and museum education, providing a variety of insights into this multifaceted syndrome.

Demenz ist ein Begriff, der eine Vielzahl von Symptomen beschreibt. Derzeit leben nur in Europa um die 10 Millionen Menschen mit einer Demenz. Wo gesundheitspolitische und medizinische Konzepte an ihre Grenzen kommen, können Kunst- und Designstrategien neue Perspektiven für Menschen eröffnen, die mit Demenz leben – sowohl im Hinblick auf die eigenen Fähigkeiten und die individuelle Situation als auch auf das soziale Umfeld. Das interdisziplinäre Handbuch richtet sich an Personen, die auf dem Gebiet der Demenz arbeiten und forschen, und bietet Einblicke in die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen künstlerischer und kunstbezogener Interventionen in der Arbeit mit Menschen mit Demenz. Die Publikation versammelt Beiträge zu Design, Architektur, Kunst-, Musik- und Museumspädagogik mit Blick auf dieses vielfältige Krankheitsbild.
