Monash Council is partnering with RMIT University on Poetic Portraits, an intergenerational creative project to showcase the creative talent and diverse life experiences of different generations in Monash.
20 Monash residents aged 18-35 and 60+ each wrote 2 poetic pieces and had their portrait taken. The finished poems and portraits will be published in a beautifully crafted book and exhibited around Monash.
The creative journey will culminate at Monash Seniors Festival 2025, with an official exhibition and book event to celebrate the participants' work.
Check back for more information on this community project in September 2025.

This collaborative project between RMIT University and Monash Council aims to harness the power of poetry and portraits to challenge ageist stereotypes and foster meaningful intergenerational connections.
