ELDERS
2085

The Ageing Salon invites members of the LGBTQIA+ community to reflect on our hopes, dreams and fears of ageing in the UK. If we live long enough, disability is the one identity we will all inhabit. So, what could alternative systems of care look like for us?

Elders, 2085 will combine live performance and an architectural model installation to imagine alternative visions of the care home. Elders, 2085 was commissioned through a Wellcome Trust x Unlimited Partner Award and will be developed during the Ga sworks Participation Artist Residency collaboration with Tonic Housing and OPAL (Out and Proud African LGBTQ+).
