WHAT IS THE LIFE OF SLIDES?

The Life of Slides is a unique reminiscence experience, based in Glasgow, that is designed to promote memory recall, spark shared experiences and stimulate meaningful conversations. Using a large archive of 35mm slides showcasing everyday British family life from the past, this project brings history to life through nostalgic imagery, engaging storytelling and interactive discussions.

WHO IS IT FOR?

This experience is aimed at care home residents of all cognitive levels, providing a unique opportunity to take a trip down memory lane. With themes like childhood, holidays and the seaside, our slideshows and round table discussions can appeal to a wide variety of ages and group sizes.

HOW CAN IT HELP?

We see the archive slides as a powerful key to unlocking memories and sparking recognition, enhanced by familiar tunes and lively conversation. Whether it’s a well-loved seaside holiday destination, a childhood game shared by many or a piece of fashion that stands out, these moments can create a joyful link to happy memories and open the door to meaningful connections and verbal engagement.
