Lecture - Creativity and Well-being in Golden Age【2nd Hong Kong Golden Age Arts Festival】

Overview

The intersection of aging and creativity presents a compelling area of study, challenging traditional "decline theories" that suggest creative capacity inevitably diminishes with age. Instead, the "Life Course Theory" provides a different framework, highlighting "life interconnectedness," historical context, life transitions, and individual agency, while acknowledging how culture, class, and gender influence creativity in later life. This lecture delves into the relationship between artistic creation and subjective well-being, inviting the public to reflect on the deeper significance of art for the Golden Age population.
