Presentation Format

We know that ageism causes significant harms and costs individuals, communities and society dearly – yet it remains one of the most ubiquitous and accepted forms discrimination. Using arts based, narrative and innovative collaborative programs, Celebrate Ageing works to dismantle the ageism experienced by older people.
Our mission is to build a movement that tackles ageism and builds respect for older Australians at all levels of society. We are working for a society where all older people are valued and respected.
In this art installation, we will draw on the powerful images that are generated through Celebrate Ageing’s creative projects – offering the viewer a range of different perspectives on what it is to age, to feel empowered, to love, to share, to be beautiful, to be respected.
This work comprises a series of 6 - 10 posters, together with an artist’s statement describing our creative, empowering and collaborative approach to engagement. The images that fuel our revolution.
