DESCRIPTION:In this edition of the MUARG Conversation Series\, Helen Manc
 hester (University of Bristol) will draw from her recently completed UKR
 I Healthy Ageing-funded research project ‘Connecting through Culture as 
 we Age’ to explore how all forms of arts and culture participation\, par
 ticularly those accessed digitally\, can influence wellbeing and social 
 connection as we age. Twenty socioeconomically or racially minoritised o
 r disabled co-researchers aged 60-75 were involved in a digital innovati
 on process\, with their voices\, lived experiences\, and expertise shapi
 ng the co-design of digital cultural experiences and products.\n\n\n\nDr
 awing on this research\, this presentation will challenge mainstream app
 roaches to digital innovation which identify a ‘problem space’ from the 
 start\, especially in the context of the ‘crisis’ of demographic ageing\
 , instead asking what can be done if we start by understanding the local
 \, situated everyday lives of older adults for whom the designs are made
 . The presentation will introduce the participatory creative methods use
 d to unfold the co-researchers’ day-to-day lives in place—and how these 
 were taken into a digital co-design process resulting in six prototype p
 rojects—and discuss learnings drawn from the 3-year project about co-des
 igning technologies\, digital exclusion\, and creative citizenship.\n\n\
 n\nThe room is located on the ground floor of the Christabel Pankhurst I
 nstitute Building.\n\n\n\nLunch\, tea and Coffee will be provided.\n\n\n
