Radical Creative Ageing Fanzines

We’re excited to bring you our collection of Radical Acts of Creative Ageing Fanzines where we invite creative ageing activists to inspire and challenge our thinking.

Sita Brand

March 2026

In this edition we interview storyteller Sita Brand who reflects on the power of story as we grow older.

She believes storytelling helps us understand ourselves and each other, and that how we ask for stories matters. Instead of asking elders what they remember, she suggests asking what they’ve never been allowed to tell.

For Sita, radical creative ageing is about curiosity, courage and lifelong learning, reminding us that creativity and wisdom continue to grow with age.

Meet Me at The Albany

February 2026

In this edition we interview Sophie Merriman, Producer of Meet Me at the Albany.

Her interview is a warm and inspiring reflection on ageing, creativity, and what it really means to feel included in the arts. Speaking about her work with the Meet Me programme, she gently challenges the assumptions that often shape how older people are perceived in cultural spaces.

Meet Me at the Albany is an arts and social club for people over sixty-five, developed and delivered through a partnership between The Albany and Entelechy Arts.

Stella Duffy OBE
