Come along on an eye-opening journey that explores how different cultures perceive aging and how these views are beautifully captured in art. In this engaging presentation, we’ll dive into the diverse ways societies celebrate, challenge, and reflect on the aging process. From heartwarming portraits of elders in traditional Asian artworks to the bold expressions of youth in modern Western pieces, we’ll uncover the stories behind these creations. Together, we’ll discover how cultural values shape artistic representations of age and how these artworks influence our own attitudes towards growing older. Get ready to be inspired by the rich tapestry of experiences that each generation brings, and let’s celebrate the artistry that tells the stories of our lives as they unfold over time. Join us for a meaningful exploration of aging, connection, and the shared human experience!
