This exhibition is the first of its kind in China to focus on aging and an aging society through the lens of contemporary art. It employs a variety of artistic forms to illuminate the emotions, experiences, needs, and social contexts of older adults, both as individuals and within communities. By viewing aging as an inevitable life stage and a universal condition, it aims to authentically depict the beauties, prides, and challenges that the elderly face in different social and cultural settings. The exhibition seeks to dismantle age-related stereotypes and combat ageism, while championing the cultural visibility and rights of older adults.

Furthermore, it highlights the critical importance of care and caregiving in an aging society, and emphasizes the value of intergenerational communication, support, and connection. The exhibition offers a deeper reflection on the meanings of life and death, encouraging a reevaluation of personal values and family bonds. By advocating for diverse methods such as oral histories and family documentaries, it captures and shares the stories of the elderly, preserving family, generational, and cultural memories for future generations.

本次展览将是国内首次聚焦当代艺术视角下的老年议题和老龄化社会。展览通过多元艺术形式关注并展现老年人作为个体和群体的情感、经验、需求和社会境遇，将“老龄”视为每个人必经的生命阶段和普遍状况。它揭示了在不同社会和文化背景下老年群体真实的生活、情感与挑战，并打破关于年龄的刻板印象，为老年人争取文化可见性的权利。同时，展览探讨在老龄化社会中关怀和照护的关键作用，以及跨代际的沟通、支持和连接的重要性。更深层次地审视与领悟生命和死亡的意义，重建个体价值和亲情纽带。通过口述历史和家庭影像等多元化的方法，倾听并呈现老年人的故事，传递家庭、时代与文化的记忆。
