Old Enough: LECTURE Series at Harris Center

Please note: The Thursday Lecture Series is separate from the Friday Workshop/Seminar Series led by the same contributors, which requires individual registration.

 

This course features a series of talks and readings by contributors to the recently published book Old Enough: Southern Women Artists and Writers on Creativity and Aging. Each week, a different artist or writer will share their unique perspectives on creativity and aging, exploring themes of identity, memory, resilience, and the passage of time.
