Black Health & Wellbeing Project
The Black Brain Health Across Generations Project used art, storytelling, and music to explore memory, culture and well-being within the African and African-Caribbean communities. Bringing together older and younger generations, it raised awareness of dementia, promoted healthy lifestyle choices, and encouraged open conversations about brain health. The creative workshops built stronger community connections, challenged stigma and left a legacy through artwork celebrating identity, resilience, and shared experiences. An exhibition of the artwork carried out by the participants will be showcased at a Bradford museum.
