Culture Shifts is a socially engaged photography programme, working with 11 national and international photographers embedded in communities across 7 areas of Liverpool City Region. The project seeks to support communities to explore their stories in a way that is meaningful to them.
Liverpool based photographer Tadhg Devlin worked in collaboration with the Dementia SURF (Service User Reference Forum) group, supported by Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust. The group has a strong track record as ambassadors for those living with early on-set dementia. A number of the group worked closely with Devlin to create photo stories, which break the stigma associated with dementia, and reflect their lives as individuals, not as a condition.
