“Longevity is not just living longer. It is loving with meaning, with presence and with the right to belong. That is the heart of the Arts and Heath exhibition.”
I've written at length about the links between art and health. My latest blog on my Spain residency explores an exhibition on the association between art and health.
Called the Arts and Health Longevity exhibition it commenced with a wonderful opening statement:
‘A declaration on how we inhabit old age from the fields of Arts and Health’.
The exhibition challenged us to consider if the arts can help us achieve a full, healthy and diverse longevity. It presented iconic works from art history, digitally altered to address various themes affecting older people- healthy aging, ageism, neurodegenerative diseases, care networks, unwanted loneliness and further reflections on health in later life that concern us on both an individual and personal level as well as a societal level.
