Wednesday, June 22
1:30 pm ET/12:30 pm CT/10:30 am PT

This webinar explores the power of art and its ability to tackle and confront ageism. Artistic activism has had a significant historical impact on social change, particularly with regard to many well-known movements, such as civil rights, women’s rights and workers’ rights. In this interactive session, Meg LaPorte and Jordan Evans will do the following:

  • Examine artistic activism and its application in fighting ageism and in changing society’s attitudes about older adults.
  • Explore how creative projects are bringing people together around common interests to eradicate prejudices around age.
  • Encourage interaction and feedback from the audience around ideas for artistic activism that confronts ageism.
