Ageing, Care and the Practice of Urban Curating
Sophie Handler describes practices of ‘urban curating’, art and performance‐based interventions into urban space that seek to uncover hidden experiences, knowledges and relations within those spaces to effect a rethinking of them. Handler discusses her work with elderly people in London that attempts to trace the rich, but largely neglected, geographies of ageing in urban environments through participatory methods, such as walking, dancing and storytelling, each providing a creative counterpoint to prevailing ideas of ageing as a demographic, economic and health problem. Instead, Handler demonstrates how designers could benefit from exploratory modes of engagement with everyday settings in order to facilitate a more caring design process that seeks to counteract stereotypical assumptions about different users and involve them on their own terms.
