Prime Years

Detail of image by Edmund Clark 'Henry Allingham, 109 Years' from Centenarians seriesPresented as part of Bealtaine, the national festival celebrating creativity in older age. Prime Years explores the many aspects of ageing through images made from the individual perspectives of 12 artists from around the world.  

From the editorial to the personal, the work in Prime Years depicts centenarians, artists, relatives, and other individuals enjoying, enduring, and living their lives beyond the age of 60, reflecting the values of individual artist’s culture and their own personal idiosyncrasies.

Prime Years provides a vision of aging that will positively inspire everyone. The exhibit moves from idiosyncratic ways of depicting elderly people to straight forward documentation. The twists and turns in perspective of the exhibit attempt to match but do not exhaust the complexity of the ageing process itself.

Gallery of Photography opening hours: Tuesday – Saturday 11–6; Sunday 1–6. Admission is free, donations are welcome.
