Abstract

The Life Album project. Alzheimer and image has been developed within the framework of Visiona (Image Program of Huesca) and in collaboration with the Alzheimer Association of Huesca. It is a pilot experience carried out to promote from cultural practices, quality of life improvement of patients and caregivers of Alzheimer’s and other dementias, with the photographic image as the engine of cognitive and emotional processes. Specifically, from the promotion that a creative view can facilitate thanks to the social and exploratory utilities of the photographic image. Thus, the project explores ways based on photography that promote discovery, mobilization and dialogue between people affected by the disease, with special interest in the relationship between patients and caregivers.
