How to age?

Join our exploration of age and aging!
German and Japanese artists, scientists, and practitioners will get together to take a look at virtually everybody’s future. From numerous perspectives and in diverse, engaging ways. PLUS creates an experimental forum, inviting you to take part in an inquiry into the nature, the individual and socio-cultural circumstances, and the possible futures of age(ing). What do these look like? And are we – both as a society and as individuals – ready for them? Or do we have to rethink age(ing)? Find out more
