Fostering Aesthetic Engagement Through Filmed Research-Based Theatre: An Arts-Based Approach to Culture Change in Dementia Care

This session will feature a screening of "Cracked: New Light on Demetia," a film intended to inspire alternative ways of seeing persons living with dementia and to foster a culture of care that supports people to live well with dementia, followed by a Q&A session with Pia Kontos.

This event has been organized by the UBC Healthy Aging Research Seminar.

Pia Kontos is a Senior Scientist at the KITE Research Institute, Toronto Rehabilitation Institute – University Health Network and Professor in the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto. With colleagues, Pia has helped develop and advance a relational caring philosophy and arts-informed educational initiatives to support the adoption of relational caring in practice. Her research draws on critical and relational theories and uses qualitative and arts-based methodologies as a means of promoting personal transformation and social change in dementia and long-term care. She has presented and published across multiple disciplines, primarily on embodiment, relationality, ethics and creativity.
