Flesh After Fifty
A MF Cultural Life event
Hosted by:
Pamela Creed
March 12, 2021 @ 5:50 pm - 8:30 pm
$30.00Changing images of older women in art
We live in a society swamped with images, where high value is placed on physical appearance and an association between attractiveness and youth, particularly for women. Flesh after Fifty will explore and challenge negative stereotypes of aging while celebrating and promoting positive images of older women through art.
Flesh after Fifty will bring to the fore images that need revisiting or have been overlooked, plus 10 new commissioned art installations that explore social issues, health and empowerment of older women.
Merrin Ricketson the education coordinator will join our conversation, as we tour the exhibition.
We will have access to the bar should you chose to purchase a drink and snack at the bar, and kick back and enjoy the fabulous
Stilletto Sisters – how much passion can you take in one night!
