4,4,4&2, the finale of our work to rewrite the story of dementia, launches in Edinburgh this September – and we’d love to see you at the celebrations for this publishing world first.
September 16th - 4,4,4&2 book launch and exhibition opening: 6:00pm onward
September 17-21st - 4,4,4&2 exhibition
September 18th - Dementia friendly day
September 20-21st - Demo days
Printed using an innovative disappearing ink to mimic the physical degeneration of the brain which can take place during the dementia journey, 4,4,4&2 maps the life of Maggie Watson – our close collaborator and dear friend, diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and Vascular Dementia in 2021.
A ‘living cookbook,’ the publication walks readers through early childhood recipes, savoury dinners, shared bakes and treasured family hand-me-downs – using the medium of cooking to not only share the standout recipes from a life very well eaten, but also to map the effects of a dementia diagnosis on an individual, and those they share their life with.
Made possible thanks to the kind support of Custom Lane and the Culture & Business Fund, 4,4,4&2 launches across a week with a full exhibition and weekend of activity – kickstarted with the book launch and exhibition opening.
Hope to see you there!
