The paper crane installation at the community hospital symbolizes longevity, health, and well-being, which are culturally significant in Chinese traditions. The cranes were collaboratively created by elderly patients and hospital staff under the guidance of artists, showcasing a blend of art and community effort.
Art in the context of aging challenges traditional perceptions by emphasizing the process over the final product. It focuses on the therapeutic and joyful experiences during creation rather than the aesthetic value of the artwork, thus democratizing art and making it accessible to all, regardless of skill or age.
Art plays a multifaceted role in the lives of elderly individuals by enhancing their well-being, providing therapeutic benefits, and fostering social connections. It helps in maintaining cognitive functions, emotional health, and offers a sense of accomplishment and community belonging.
The podcast describes that while art-related activities are available and promoted in Singapore, they are not yet a common part of daily life for the elderly. However, there are numerous opportunities provided by the government, community organizations, and artists to engage the elderly in various art forms.
The 'Arts, Aging and Wellbeing Toolkit' is a resource designed to facilitate creative art activities within the community care sector. It provides practical games and activities that can be easily implemented to engage the elderly in art, aiming to enhance their mental and emotional well-being.
The podcast highlights that elderly participation in art activities is not just about creating art but also about the process which can be therapeutic and socially enriching. It emphasizes that art helps in reconnecting the elderly with society, providing them with a platform to express themselves and share their experiences.
老人,与艺术,能有多远?
艺术,似乎是高雅、美好的代名词。而养老的琐碎日常中,又有多少能与艺术搭边?今天,我们借由艺术,探寻一种养老途中的美好可能。它有可能是驱车40分钟、特意装扮后的一次看剧看展之旅,也更有可能是午后慵懒阳光之中,你突发奇想与外婆的吟诗一小首;亦或是社区医院里,医生与病人一同,你一只、我一只合作而成的千纸鹤门帘……
我们想推荐一本艺术工坊手册),在这里,你可以随手拾起一个小“游戏”,不需要太费周折,就可以和家中老人一起,共度半日时光。也许能看到老人眼中焕发的光彩,或是听到他们讲述起往日美好、却被遗忘良久的光阴的故事。

“老派 90”是由「加薪」「大吉」两个 90 后媒体人,创建的一档关于“养老”的播客。主播加薪,ESFJ,资深数据新闻人,曾供职于财新等多家媒体。主播大吉,INTP,前资深媒体人,重返校园,南洋理工“老年学”在读。
所谓“老派”,不是刻板守旧,而是想理解老年一派,想提前站在 80 岁自己的面前,说些或做些什么。有一天,我们会不畏惧老去。
