Public Health and Occupational Therapy students from UNE collaborated to conduct a research project using an arts-based research methodology called Visual Voices to investigate the topics of perception, identity, and aging. Between February and May 2015, over the course of twelve sessions, the UNE team met with six female residents of the Park Danforth senior living community in Portland to have conversations and create art about how the residents perceive themselves in contrast to how they feel perceived by important people in their lives, such as friends, family, and healthcare providers. This project was in part based on the work done by the National Center for Creative Aging which suggests the importance of incorporating creative endeavors as one ages.
