1 Million Squares for Dementia
One Square. One Story. One Million Acts of love.
A creative movement uniting people through art, memory, and community to raise awareness of dementia and build a powerful visual symbol of collective support.
About the Project
The 1 Million Squares for Dementia project invites individuals, families, schools, artists, and communities to create and contribute a square to an initial campaign to spread awareness. Each square represents a story, a memory, a person, or a moment connected to dementia.
When combined, these squares will potentially form a visual tapestry representing the millions of lives touched by dementia .
Part of a Larger Vision
Dementia Sphere aims to create new ways for people to engage with dementia awareness, storytelling, creativity, and community collaboration.
Through initiatives like 1 Million Squares for Dementia, Dementia Sphere is building a global platform where creativity, compassion, and collective action help transform how society understands and responds to dementia.

Dementia Sphere is about creating a space and platform where caregivers and family members of those living with dementia can seek information, advice and share experiences. Aside from my personal story on my mother and our journey with her Alzheimer’s Dementia, the overall objective is to share stories of others, including family members of other’s going through this journey, dementia advisors and other dementia professionals.
