Can traditional arts improve an older adult's quality of life? Are
arts interventions more effective when they align with an elder's
cultural identity? In The Expressive Lives of Elders, Jon Kay and
contributors from a diverse range of public institutions argue that
such mediations work best when they are culturally, socially, and
personally relevant to the participants. From quilting and canning
to weaving and woodworking, this book explores the role of
traditional arts and folklore in the lives of older adults in the
United States, highlighting the critical importance of ethnographic
studies of creative aging for both understanding the expressive
lives of elders and for designing effective arts therapies and
programs. Each case study in this volume demonstrates how folklore
and traditional practices help elders maintain their health and
wellness, providing a road map for initiatives to improve the lives
and well-being of America's aging population.
