Artistic Representations of Aging 2025 event

A multi-disciplinary event, Artistic Representations of Aging, highlights a photo exhibit, film and panel discussion — all centered around aging.

The UWM Helen Bader Office of Applied Gerontology, Student Gerontology Association at UWM, the Focus Photography Club at UWM, and Milwaukee Film invite you to attend an event centered around artistic representations of aging on Friday, May 2, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. in the UWM Student Union, Room 280. From 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. view the photography exhibition, “Reflections of Resilience” including the work of award-winning Wisconsin photographer Cindy Hansen, who explores the subject of aging through staged self-portraiture.

Attendees will enjoy a free screening of the 2024 Dutch film Memory Lane, a comedy-drama following long-married couple Jaap and Maartje as they road trip across Europe to visit a dying friend, getting up to some antics and rediscovering their love for one another along the way. The film begins at 6:00 p.m. in the Union Cinema, followed by a 30-minute talkback.
