Growing older does not mean disappearing. Eng-Age: Young at Art challenges perceptions of later life as quiet, grey, or invisible.
For over a year, residents of Trust Us Senior care service in Tallaght have worked alongside artists and collaborators to transform their lived experience into bold expressions of colour, humour, resistance, and agency.
The project will culminate in a joyful, defiant exhibition in the Rua Red Arts Centre from the 10th – 18th of February. It will feature artwork by the residents of Trust Us Senior Care, portraits by photographer Ria Ridge, artwork by KiKi na Art (Ciarna Hackett), and a video documentary by Mary Guinan, tracing the process from weekly workshops to public action and so much more.
