Souvenir – A Journey of Memories

Community art production center, ILME

Souvenir – A Journey of Memories takes place among residents living at Rajakylä Care Home. Through group activities and bedside sessions, memories of journeys are recalled in a multisensory way.

Participants are able to take group trips in their imagination, supported by artistic work. The storytellers are photographed and their memories are written down. The project brings lived lives to light—travel memories ranging from evacuation journeys to trips as far as Svalbard.
