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 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.

To celebrate the closure of the project, we are organizing a three-day lab. It will include presentations of our research, our forthcoming book Unruly Aesthetics (Bristol University Press Policy, 2026), a conversation between Paul Reynolds and Lynn Segal, a reading group, a sensuality & photo workshop with Hilde Braet and Tamara Foubert, a shamanic trance journey with Eva de Groote and performances by Dr Jacobs Drag Professor and Vlasta Delimar.
