Join Community Bridge Builders for the premiere of “Making the Invisible, Visible” on Monday, February 24, at 4 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center at 23822 Avenida Sevilla.
What is the most pervasive yet least acknowledged social prejudice—one that influences our lives, beliefs, culture, and attitudes? Ageism. And why should we care? Because its consequences can be profound.
The film sheds light on the realities of ageism through four compelling vignettes. Following the screening, interactive workshops will provide an opportunity to discuss these scenarios and explore ways to challenge age-related biases.
Have you ever experienced subtle but unmistakable ageism?
- A nurse calls you “sweetie” at a doctor’s visit—even though you’re 82.
- A salesperson ignores you in favor of a younger customer.
- You’re passed over for a part-time job because the company prefers a “youthful” image.
- More alarmingly, ageism can influence medical decisions, potentially leading to the denial of necessary treatments based on assumptions about lifespan or frailty.
Created by Village residents, “Making the Invisible, Visible” empowers older adults to recognize and address the impact of ageism. Join us on February 24 to be part of this important conversation. Together, we can raise awareness, advocate for change and build a movement toward a more inclusive society.
Admission is free. A cash bar and refreshments will be available.
