With Many Voices is the project that Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi dedicates to people with dementia and their caregivers. The program is curated by the Foundation’s Education Department and is held in collaboration with specialized geriatric educators.
With Many Voices offers people living with dementia the chance to express themselves through art and proposes a model for communication that is still possible. By inviting recourse to imagination and not memory, imagination and not logic-cognitive skills, the communicative abilities of each person are, in fact, enhanced. The project is open to families and health care residences and includes cycles of meetings that take place in front of the works on display and in the rooms of the Maria Manetti Shrem Educational Center.
