Dementia Fiction Festival 2021
A two-day festival of conversations, performances, and presentations in response to a Queen’s University research project exploring the depiction of dementia in contemporary fiction.
Please join us for two days of incredible performances, insightful presentations, and important conversations as we explore questions raised by a recent research project at Queen’s University Belfast.
Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the project investigates how the language of contemporary fiction represents the minds of characters with dementia.
This festival/conference hybrid will bring together a unique mix of academics, writers, organisations, carers, and people living with dementia to discuss how we write about dementia with honesty, imagination, and integrity.
All sessions will be available online, with plenty of opportunities for everyone to get involved with the conversation.
