“Silver Linings: Spotlight on Cambridge Seniors”
In 2022, I was awarded an Art for Social Justice grant by the Cambridge Arts Council. My particular lens on social justice is the maintenance of social connections between older adults (65+) and the surrounding community. I wanted to increase the visibility of older people in Cambridge and to share their stories. To that end, I conducted interviews with seven subjects in spring and summer 2022. I’ve painted their portraits and made paintings of beloved memories and of their homes. The exhibition includes an online portion featuring short biographies as well as subjects’ collected audio material shedding light on their lives.
Exhibition dates: December 3-28th, 2022
Location: Coyneworks Pop-Up Store, 34 JFK St., Harvard Square, Cambridge
