The Last Archive - Caregiving, Memory, and Legacy

Caregiving for a loved one with dementia isn't always just about caring for a person's physical needs, it can also become the urgent work of preserving their story, identity, and legacy before dementia erases what remains. Episode 12 explores the unique experience of becoming a caregiver to a beloved family member while simultaneously becoming the steward of their life's work. Through her documentary Uncle Roy, Keri Pickett shares what it meant to care for her uncle, Roy Blakey, a pioneering American photographer, archivist, and former professional ice skater, who faced dementia, while she raced against time to preserve the history, art, and identity he spent a lifetime creating.
