ReCollections: Tree of Life

NOTE: ReCollections is intended for individuals living with Alzheimer's and related dementias and their families/caregivers.

Join us for a guided tour designed for individuals living with dementia and their caregivers. Through the vibrant folk art of the Mexican Tree of Life, we’ll explore themes of family and tradition. This interactive experience encourages gentle conversation, storytelling, and connection in a supportive environment. Participants will then create their own Trees of Life, that reflect personal and family histories.

ReCollections represents a partnership between the San Antonio Museum of Art, the Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer’s and Neurodegenerative Diseases, UT Health San Antonio, the Alzheimer’s Association, and Grace Place to deliver art museum experiences to the community of people living with Alzheimer’s and related dementias, as well as their families and caregivers.

Sessions include facilitated conversations inspired by artworks in the Museum’s collection to encourage close-looking, reminiscence, and storytelling, followed by hands-on artmaking.
