CLIENT

Nation­al Arts Coun­cil’s Sil­ver Arts Pro­gramme advo­cates the mean­ing­ful pos­si­bil­i­ties seniors have in the arts, believ­ing that seniors can age cre­ative­ly, devel­op­ing pro­grammes with artists and com­mu­ni­ty part­ners that cel­e­brate par­tic­i­pa­tion in the arts, and inclu­siv­i­ty in aging.


BRIEF

To cre­ate a project from scratch that would engage senior cit­i­zens with youth writ­ers, explor­ing the mem­o­ries of both whilst impart­ing lit­er­ary devices that both groups could use to record. Cre­at­ed over six ses­sions, the writ­ing was com­piled into a book which cap­tured the essence of the collaboration.


APPROACH

The design of the book was com­part­men­tal­ized, as inspired by the idea of frag­men­ta­tion in an equa­tion. We cre­at­ed a dual-spine book con­tain­ing the seniors’ writ­ings on one side and the youths on the oth­er, so that they could be read simul­ta­ne­ous­ly as it unfolds. If one should so desire, it could fold back togeth­er to view the writ­ings lin­ear­ly, like a reg­u­lar book.

PRODUCTION LESSONS

There was a limited number/thickness of pages we could include in the centre-sew dual-spine binding method, and several mock-ups had to be made to ensure accuracy in production and adjustments to the graphics. For automated binding, the front flap of the cover couldn’t go any shorter than it already is.
