About the exhibition

In the exhibition Dialogue with Time, the audience walks through different scenically and colourfully designed rooms, guided by a senior citizen age 70 or above. They are mediators and experts in all facets of ageing and act as role models.


Through experiential play, creative intergenerational dialogue is produced, dispelling stereotypes and clichés about old age. Some rooms invite personal and vulnerable exchange, whereas others foster play and a joyful atmosphere. The exhibition looks at the theme of ageing from different angles: 


• Ageing is a natural process. 

• Ageing is a personal matter 

• The diversity of ageing 

• The future of ageing 

• It is never noo late


The exhibition was realised in collaboration with Andreas Heinecke, Holon Children’s Museum, Atelier Brückner (scenography, design and graphics), and the team of Dialogue Social Enterprise.
