The Creative Age: A Global Celebration of Creative Aging

You are invited to join Atlantic Fellow for Equity in Brain Health Karin Diamond (2019) and Atlantic Fellows from across the globe for The Creative Age, an inspiring online performance featuring creative older people from around the world, celebrating the UN’s International Day of Older Persons on Tuesday, October 1, 2024. 

What to Expect
The Creative Age is a vibrant 60-minute performance showcasing the rich diversity of older people’s experiences through spoken word, music, singing, and dance. Featuring participants from Wales, Brazil, the USA, South Africa, and beyond, this performance challenges ageism by highlighting the voices and lived experiences of elders worldwide. The event will be accessible with live transcription in over 30 languages and BSL interpretation.
