Our Long Goodbye is a moving exhibition of photographs, films and texts that share the everyday love, loss and quiet strength of living with dementia.
At its centre is the story of Jenny Harris and her mum, capturing a deeply personal journey that will feel familiar to many.
Jenny, a drama facilitator with decades of experience, has spent the last ten years leading creative dementia sessions in care homes and community spaces. When her own mum began to show signs of dementia, Jenny’s personal and professional worlds came together in a powerful and emotional way. This exhibition tells that story with honesty and sensitivity.
Alongside the exhibition, Jenny will lead a free Creative Writing Workshop on Saturday 21 June from 13:00 to 15:00.
The workshop is open to anyone who knows or has cared for someone with dementia, and offers a chance to explore personal stories through writing. No experience is needed and the session will include fun and supportive activities in a relaxed setting.
