Abstract
Drawing inspiration from collaborative art-making, our study presents the methodology and findings of a process of co-creating meaningful spaces with individuals living with dementia, and the subsequent exploration of these spaces from a first-person perspective in virtual reality (VR). We examine the dual role of art as a means of communication for expressing emotions and thoughts, as well as a tool for empowerment and transformation which leads to new experiences and perspectives. Through this, our work contributes to the understanding and development of innovative, non-pharmacological interventions for enhancing the emotional well-being and quality of life of people living with dementia.
