Salon After D'Arc: How Memory Makes Meaning

Join host Jamila Rizvi (Deputy Managing Director of Future Women) for the final event in the series, How Memory Makes Meaning, as she explore the ways in which we remember and how memories are constructed.

Drawing on her own research and professional experience, Professor Yen Ying Lim will kick off the evening, delving into how memory is formed, stored and recalled, and what contemporary medical and scientific research can tell us about memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease.

Discover how scent is deeply tied to memory and learn how it can connect you with old memories and help you create new ones through a powerful scent meditation led by Erin Adams, founder of Smell Art. Erin will then lead you on a guided scent tour of the Dome before a meaningful reflection activity.

In conversation with writer Astrid Edwards, Jamila will share her personal journey of how she navigated a brain tumour diagnosis.
