The opening of the exhibition will take place on September 21, at 2:00 p.m. Kaunas “Žalgirio” arena exhibition space near the amphitheater.
The exhibition presents the perspective of women caring for loved ones with dementia into the caregiving experience. The content of the exhibition was created in 2024. in the spring-summer creative process, in which 10 women from Vilnius, Kaunas, Panevėžys, Trakai and Ignalina districts participated, who sought to reflect their experiences through photography.

About the exhibition:
Caring for people with dementia is considered to be extremely difficult for many reasons related to the progression of the disease, which inevitably leads to the loss of a person’s independence. As dementia progresses, changes occur in the brain that lead to behavioral problems and personality changes. Gradually, caregiving requires more and more effort and time, which the caregiver has to spend at the expense of personal life.
The project aims to draw attention to caregiving experiences, which are often difficult to find words to talk about. Care enters a person’s life as a transforming process that affects all areas of life, where the changing relationship between people is revealed, and the background created by society’s attitudes and state institutions is individually experienced.
