A Senior Adult Art Exhibition in Queens Public Library, Flushing, organized by ChrisTina Andersen (SPCUNY Fellow) and Kilusan Bautista (SPCUNY Fellow Alumni) QPL Director of Cultural Outreach.

Memories: Souvenirs of Life showcases artwork by adults aged 65 to 90 created in oil painting classes taught by ChrisTina Andersen, a Social Practice CUNY Fellow, at senior centers in Queens.

Each artist has painted a meaningful memory, accompanied by a brief written reflection. Most are immigrants, primarily from China, Hong Kong as well as Puerto Rico, Greece, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Poland, Israel and Brazil. This exhibition celebrates a vibrant yet often overlooked community, challenging stereotypes around aging through creativity and storytelling.

Opening Reception:
