Dana Walrath | Aliceheimer’s: Comics, Medicine, and Memory | November 6, 2015

Dana Walrath is the author of the graphic memoir Aliceheimer’s, which chronicles her mother’s dementia and how it provided an unexpected community of help including pirates, space/time travel, and Walrath’s dead father, looming in the branches of the maple trees around her New England farm house. This talk will focus on the power of graphic storytelling to heal and support individual caregivers, to support those with memory loss, and to rewrite the story of how we age globally. Free and open to the public. Visit Dana Walrath|Aliceheimer’s: Comics, Medicine, and Memory for more information.
