Drawing on recent exhibitions, this podcast explores how contemporary artists approach personhood not as a fixed identity, but it’s something relational experimental and lived.

At the Threshold is a short arts–health monologue that explores Alzheimer’s through time, pause, and listening. Drawing on lived observation, personhood thinking, and the experience of apraxia, the piece focuses not on loss of memory, but on moments where action, recognition, and agreement arrive out of sequence — and sometimes return. Structured around the sound of wind moving through a room, the monologue invites the listener to stand in the space before decisions are made: where consent is not refusal, stillness is not absence, and waiting becomes a form of care. This work sits between theatre, medical humanities, and sound piece. It is an invitation to imagine the other — not as someone disappearing, but as someone navigating changing thresholds of access, timing, and recognition. Listeners are invited, at the end, to close the door if they wish.

In this episode I explore the idea of occupational personhood are people with dementia often sustain identity through former work roles. The episode also looks ahead to her recognising compressed forms of identity might inform future approaches to documentation, digital health and language based support tools. The role of creativity in this situation is explored.
