Second Prize
Openair Fotokunstausstellung Demenz neu sehen (“Seeing Dementia in a New Light“)
by Desideria Care e.V.
The open-air photo exhibition “Seeing Dementia in a New Light” challenges taboo and exclusion by giving people with dementia and their families visibility and dignity. It breaks stereotypes, opens space for new narratives, and invites society to see dementia with empathy and understanding. Presented in public urban spaces, the initiative reaches a broad audience, bringing the topic into everyday life. Fifteen large-format banners with twenty-four photographs appear across Bavarian cities, portraying people with dementia and their relatives in moments of closeness, care, and dignity. Each image invites viewers to rethink stereotypes and see dementia with new eyes.
"By bringing authentic stories into everyday public spaces, the exhibition breaks silence and stigma, sparking empathy and dialogue."
