Over the past few weeks we've been working with Karen Hayes; a poet with particular experience in working with people with dementia and creating poems using their own words. Karen's been spending time at Trevarna nursing home, having conversations with the residents about the garden and recording every word. Think of it as the individuals being the authors and Karen their scribe and editor. From all this work she'll create poems that will show us how increased access to outdoor spaces and the community has impacted on them.
Out of this work has arisen an exciting new project in which we're looking for digital media artists, based in Cornwall, to represent a selection of Karen's poems in various formats. Interested? Then check out more information on our website HERE where you can also download the full brief and details on how to apply.
