Love your lines

Poetry film by Older Women Rock

The eyes of a woman wearing purple and blue eyeshadow are in the center of the picture. Other than that, it shows only her purple hair. The lower part of a white woman's face is shown. She wears bright pink lipstick, colourful green earrings and her hair is dyed purple. A white woman's face is shown. She frowns her eyebrows while looking in the camera. She has white curly hair surrounding her face. A close-up of a black person's eyes and frowning eyebrows shows the lines between their eyes.

Love your lines is a poetry film by Older Women Rock, and is about society’s pressure on older women to ‘age agelessly’. It has been made for Tammy Whynot’s YouTube channel and is based on Leah Thorn’s poem ‘Don’t Buy the Hype’.

‘Older Women Rock!’ is Leah Thorn’s project of poetry, retro clothes, performance and film and the idea for it grew out of her experience of ageing as a woman and from conversations with other women her age.
