South Florida–based artist Kristin Beck’s moving exhibition, “Before I Forget,” debuted at the Armory Art Center in West Palm Beach last month. In this series of works, Beck, who cares for her father with dementia, meditates on her experience with the condition, memory, and identity.
Viewers will explore visual representations of the disease’s cognitive impacts through portraits, 3D objects, short videos, and interactive elements that capture themes of the lived experiences of those with dementia and their caretakers. In addition to Beck’s works, visitors can create pieces of their own at the exhibition’s participation stations, as well as contribute to a community-building quilt project. Armory Art Center will host an opening reception for “Before I Forget” on June 5. The exhibition is on view to July 11 and is free to tour.
