Equal Arts - Creativity Matters
How does creativity help form friendships, develop confidence and support communication for people living with dementia? At Equal Arts we see the impact the imagination and living in the moment can bring to people. With Creativity Matters we showcase the different stories and voices from across our projects with older people, artists, schools and those living in care. Episode 1 is a whistle-stop tour of Tyneside queer activism. A timeline of coming out stories, the burgeoning gay scene and women's scene and the setting up of services by and for the community.
