Ages – the time it’s taken you..
This is a project about age, the social construction of age. I think it’s a harmful construction – unlike this project. It messes with how we think about ourselves and about other people. This project is all about us as amazing humans.
Ages invites people to reveal their bodies and revel in ourselves our skin, bones, lumps and bumps.
Age is rejected as anything but a way to measure the number of years we have been alive. There is much more about the project in a wordy section at Words.
As the project has grown I have witnesse how being involved has been a real boost to many the participants. And, it’s also a way to increase the variety of body types that are seen.
Ages is actively, determinedly, LGBTQ+ and disability friendly. Sadly, at the moment, it is lacking many black and brown skinned participants (please consider taking part if that’s you).
Here are the people so far – The pages are best in landscape on a phone
Their ages on the day the photos were taken were 22, 23, 25, 28, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 54, 56, 57, 59, 62, 69, 71 and 74.
I would really love loads of people to take part – here is my contacts page.
