    15-17  April 2026, Kunsthal

    For six years, we immersed ourselves in the stories of women in mid‑ and later life about ageing, relationships and sexuality. We spoke with women and gender‑nonconforming people, listened in online menopause groups, attended intimacy events, spent time in residential care homes, and analysed books, films and art. In this Later-in-Life Intimacy (LiLI) spring laboratory, we will not only share insights, but also explore ways to dismantle dominant, marginalising narratives together. How might we create new imaginaries that make space for desire, intimacy and resistance in later life? We invite speakers and audience members to think, dream and struggle alongside us.

    LiLI's Tegendraadse Lente: Intimiteit en verzet bij vrouwxn op latere leeftijd
    15-17 april 2026, Kunsthal

    Zes jaar lang verdiepten we ons in verhalen van vrouwen van middelbare en oudere leeftijd over ouder worden, relaties en seksualiteit. We spraken met vrouwen en gendernonconforme personen, luisterden in online-menopauzegroepen, namen deel aan intimiteitsfeesten, draaiden mee in woonzorgcentra, en analyseerden boeken, films en kunst. In dit Later-in-Life Intimacy (LiLI) lentelabo delen we niet alleen inzichten, maar zoeken we samen naar manieren om dominante, marginaliserende verhalen te ontmantelen. Hoe kunnen we nieuwe verbeeldingen creëren die ruimte maken voor verlangen, intimiteit en verzet op latere leeftijd? We nodigen sprekers en publiek uit om mee te denken, mee te dromen en mee te strijden.
