 Cathie Borrie spent seven years caring for her mother, who had Alzheimer’s and Parkinson's. Recording many of their conversations, she discovered in her mother an astonishing poetic sensibility, insight, and humor that she had not expected would be part of the Alzheimer’s experience. In the same way that Meet Me at MoMA provides a forum for dialogue through looking at art, Borrie, by learning to deeply listen, found a way to provide a blank canvas upon which her mother was free to create the story of her shifting mind. It is a story that dismisses the negative stereotypes about the disease once and for all, recasting the long goodbye of Alzheimer’s as the long hello of profound and new understandings. Borrie, the author of The Long Hello and looking into your voice, will be presenting during World Alzheimer's Day at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC on Tuesday, September 21, 2010, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Author and Actor Melia McClure, will be assisting Borrie in her presentation. Also speaking will be Lou-Ellen Barkan, President and CEO, Alzheimer's Association, NYC Chapter. |
