Please join in celebrating the opening of 70Up : New York Women
In Their Prime. This exhibit, by photographer Jessica Chornesky, displays
more than twenty striking images (accompanied by oral histories) of
remarkable women over the age of 70.
The aim of the show is to put forth a fresh, powerful and positive
image of women's aging and to underscore the possibilities that
await us later in life. The exhibit highlights older women's contributions
to society and family. It teaches viewers that our elders are not
a separate species but just like ourselves, only later in life.
A reception will be held on May 7, 2003 at
The Museum of the City of New York
1220 Fifth Avenue Between 103rd and 104th streets.
Cocktail Reception: 4:30-6:00
Panel Presentation on Women & Aging: 6:00 pm
The panel will feature Marcia Gillespie from Ms. Magazine as the
interviewer and Susan Burden as the Moderator.
The six panelists (all women in the exhibit) will include:
Kitty Carlisle Hart (Former NY Chairman of the Arts, Performer)
Ira Jeffries (Playwright & Activist)
Antonia Rey (Actress)
Rose Edwards (Nightclub Dancer)
Esther Ridder (Chairperson Brearley School for Girls)
