Before We Forget: Exhibitions at VivoCity & Jurong Regional Library

[xray]

Before We Forget is a youth-led initiative to foster conversations about dementia. After they realised how the stigma of neurological disorders and terminal illnesses perpetuates a culture of fear and ignorance, Jeremy Boo, 22, and Lee Xian Jie , 21, spent more than a year documenting the lives of people with dementia and their caregivers.

Their work will be exhibited at 3 public locations in September alongside photos from the Photo Challenge, photojournalist Bob Lee, and stories from bloggers Mr Miyagi, Mr Wang Says So, Tara Tan, and Norvin Chan.
