And in our new series Golden Opportunities, we explore how engaging in creativity can provide a lifeline in difficult times.
Golden Opportunities Episode 2
This week we explores the joy of creativity as we get older. “In engaging our imagination and our curiosity and our playfulness, we are engaging our younger selves” affirms Helen O’Donoghue of the Irish Museum of Modern Art. As Rosaleen Murphy participant in the IMMA outreach programme puts it “I’ve been for so long, so many years, just a wife, a mother and grandmother, and I lost ‘me’ somewhere in there. And this brings ‘me’ back to me.”
