Ethnicity and Unequal Ageing Art Exhibition

Our ageing population is becoming increasingly ethnically diverse. However, not everyone reaches old age at the same level of well being. Some groups might be prevented from accessing basic services, have good work conditions, or fully participate in society purely because of who they are.

How people are included or excluded from employment, education, giving and receiving care, accessing services or housing across their lives can influence their later life well being. These issues disproportionately affect many, if not all, minoritised ethnic groups and refugees. This is unjust and unfair.

The ‘Ethnicity and Unequal Ageing’ project is about trying to improve our understanding of how experiences around inclusion vary across the life course for people from different ethnic groups, and how these experiences intersect with other personal characteristics such as sex, religion, socioeconomic status, and place.

‘Ethnicity and Unequal Ageing’ project is proud to present a powerful exhibition open to the public featuring art, photography, poetry, film, and documentary work by 40 Sheffield residents who took part in the project.

The exhibition will be open to the public at Sheffield Town Hall from 4th to 9th October, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm daily (closed Sunday, 5th October).
