Each year, Creative Generation conducts a campaign with a specific focus and this year’s campaign is “Intergenerational Collaboration,” explored through quarterly topics. In this blog, Manager of Leadership Programs Caryn Cooper explores this quarter’s topic, Redefining Eldership, through the multiple lenses in which we view elders.

In this episode of Why Change? co-hosts Karla and Ashraf discuss their perspectives on navigating work and life. Ashraf shares his interview with Nikki Kirk, a cultural equity practitioner who focuses her work on reframing the role of philanthropy in the cultural sector. Karla and Ashraf break down the throughlines of Nikki’s work through the use of linguistics, community-driven funding, and ‘radical’ approaches to systems change.
