Keynote Presentation at Ageing Societies: A Global Response

"Could we reimagine ageing as something that is so much more than skin deep and which we should not seek to fix, but to celebrate?"

Keynote Presentation on how ageing is perceived by society as burdensome. The audience were presented with research conducted about the post-Botox spike in anti-ageing language within cosmetic advertisements. Dr Zeilig thoughtfully examined the negative perception of ageing within a society that elders contribute to their whole lives.

Ageing Societies: A Global Response - a three-day online symposium - explored how societies around the globe are responding and adapting to population ageing - a global phenomenon that has emerged as a result of social and economic development. Organised by the University of the Arts London (UAL), a global leader in specialist art and design higher education, this symposium set out to present new models of
international engagement, celebrate the creativity and activism of UAL's students and staff, and speculate on creative futures. The event focused on three key themes:
• Silver Economy
• Urban Regeneration and
Spaces for Wellbeing
• Ageing Futures
