Our Work
We utilize creativity and artistry to confront damaging stereotypes about age and aging, in addition to advancing correct (and positive) beliefs about aging. We do this by partnering with individuals and entities to create and amplify art installations and workshops such as the following:
Own Your Age Photo Booth
This initiative is a fun and creative way to tackle ageism while advancing positive age beliefs. With a colorful backdrop that encourages participants to “own their ages,” the booth serves to dismantle age bias by encouraging participants to say their ages for all to see. The installation is an excellent addition to a team meeting, conference, or corporate event, where it creates a vibrant (and socially conscience) atmosphere. Click HERE for more information.
Dramatic Play WorkshopS
Through the creativity of a six-week dramatic play workshop, participants expressed their feelings about age and aging, which culminates in a festive and thought-provoking event for the community to experience. The video below highlights the beautiful culminating event that took place at Keswick’s community center in Baltimore in 2022.
Public Art Murals
We work with aging services organizations to ideate and install temporary public art exhibits that raise awareness of the people who live and work in their communities. The installation, which consists of large-scale portraits of individuals who live and work on the campuses, are located on exterior, public-facing walls. More details HERE.
Interactive Art Installations
We will work with your organization to install interactive art installation that engages visitors, residents, and staff. Our goal is to create a memorable experience that captivates and inspires participants to think about age and aging in creative and positive ways. One of our creations is the (Aging Is) Living Tree, which asks observers to write responses to prompts and hang them on the tree. More details HERE.
ARt & AGEism Presentations and Workshops
Conducted in conjunction with GreySource, an HCRI Recertification-approved entity, our workshops are centered on educating participants about age, aging, and damaging stereotypes that impact people of all ages, covering the following topic areas: The Three Kinds of Ageism and How They Impact Everyday Life, Ageism and the Anti-Aging Industrial Complex, Age Bias and Its Impact on Staff and Clients.
