PARTNERS AND SUPPORTERS
Picture Yourself has been made possible through the generosity, collaboration, and shared vision of our partners and supporters. We are deeply grateful to the organisations, community groups, researchers, creatives, participants, and advocates who believe in the importance of more authentic and inclusive representations of ageing.
This project has grown through interdisciplinary collaboration across photography, health, education, community engagement, and advocacy. Together, our partners and supporters are helping to challenge ageism, increase visibility, and create new ways of seeing later life — with dignity, complexity, creativity, and care at the centre.
