Welcome to the Table
The prototype functioned as a pop-up exhibition. It was designed as a four-course dinner around a large table. The experiences at the table took participants on a journey where they got to create a relationship with their future older selves. They also got to speculate about how they can change the meal situations of older people here and now.
Whatever age we are now, all of us are getting older. In the future, the proportion of older people will increase. Unless the system is fundamentally changed, society’s costs for elderly care will increase drastically.
The project outcome, the speculative dining prototype worked as a pop-up display. It was designed as a 4-course dinner at a large table. The experiences at the table took participants on a journey where they got to create a relationship with their future older self.
The purpose of the project was to help envision a future where no elderly person is undernourished and wherethe whole meal experience is a satisfying and positive experience. The work of “We are all Old” is relevant to PUSH:s mission of a food system that is promoting healthy lives for all.
