The Incubator Creative Hub and Tauranga City Council present the selected finalists of "Old is the New Black - Through the Lens Photography competition.
This Exhibition will be showcased along Tauranga’s waterfront – The Strand, during the Young at Heart Festival celebrating our groovy older people.
We drew on the idiom to describe something ‘Popular and Fashionable’ and wanted our community to change the way that our older people are stereotyped and help kick ageism to the kerb.
With over 100 entries our judges had the hard job of choosing 20 images that depict our seniors in this way.
The exhibtion will be on show from 1 – 20th October 2024.
Congratulations to all the selected finalists, the winners and thank you to all the photographers out there who have helped show our older people in this fresh light!
