Two art projects, carried out with people living with dementia, are set to be launched by the University of Bradford.

Both projects are part of the University of Bradford's contribution to the City of Culture year.

The first project is a display of art by people living with dementia, on the theme 'What brings you joy in Bradford.'

The second, named 'Beyond Memory,' is a mixed-media installation crafted with the Pathways group for people living with young-onset dementia, and funded by The Leap Pioneer Projects.

Artwork from both exhibitions, and a film screening about the Beyond Memory project, will be displayed at a City Hall event on Tuesday, May 27, with the official launch at 1pm.

The City Hall event will run from 10am to 5pm.

'Beyond Memory' will then be displayed at Shipley Library from May 24 to June 12, with a related workshop on June 6, before moving to Manningham, Keighley, and Central libraries.
