Exchange on aging 🖼️

In the current exhibition at the StattMuseum, the HFU's KImAge project is showing pictures that depict individual encounters with aging. Many interested people came to the exhibition opening and exchanged their experiences with aging.

“Images of aging influence how we see ourselves and others, and indeed how healthy we are and how long we live. This is still not widely known, which is why we want to discuss it with young and old alike,” explains HFU professor and project leader Dr. Verena Klusmann-Weißkopf.

👉 How do you imagine aging? Be part of the project and upload your pictures at: https://kimage-hfu.de/

By the way: You can visit the exhibition and talk to the project team until the end of March.
🗓 Every Thursday | 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. | until the end of March
📍 StattMuseum Furtwangen, Friedrichstr. 3
