Nigeria-Scotland Arts
Exchange

We are working with Arts in Medicine Projects, Nigeria and Global South Arts & Health Week (GSAHW) to engage in international knowledge-exchange. In 2023, we hosted an event as part of GSAHW which brought together early career researchers, artists, and others across Nigeria and Scotland to discuss the role of the arts in dementia care. We hope that the event will be a catalyst for future research and collaboration, fuelling future innovation and research that places intercultural knowledge-exchange as central to the arts and dementia. Read a blog about the event.

We are also working with GSAHW to set up a new Edinburgh Pavilion. This initiative was kickstarted through the celebration of Black History Month in October 2024 where we hosted an a hybrid event with the Arts Play Health Community to explore the theme of 'bonding & belonging' in arts and health.

​

We are continuing to explore ways to grow our partnership to increase collaboration across Nigeria and Scotland.

This project was funded by the British Academy Early Career Research Network (2023).
