The Life Story Photo project from Autumn Voices seeks to change perceptions about age.
Autumn Voices, Third Age Plus Pioneers project, (this link will take you away from our website) is looking for participants for their Life Story Photo Project.
The project is looking to engage with people who are 90 or more and are based in Glasgow, to take part in creative photography activities. Looking at their old photographs and taking new ones, project participants will explore and share their life stories.
The team will meet with participants individually on a weekly or fortnightly basis at their home or place of their choice to explore their life story through their photographs, such as their family albums. Focusing on a place that is special to them, such as a trip to the seaside, participants will revisit that special place virtually as the team will make the trip to the place and photograph it for them, sharing the images with them to enable them to to re-live it through pictures.
Participants can take part at their own pace, and their family members and carers are very welcome to take part with them.
Third Age Plus Pioneers will initially run for six months, with funding support from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation Ideas and Pioneers Fund. If successful, the team hope to make this a permanent, long-term club providing creative role models, creative activities, opportunities, and communities of nonagenarians.
