Dreaming Ages explores nonlinear as well as chronological time in aging, and plays against silences and secrets around aging. Conceived by Maud Lavin and Zachary Cahill, Dreaming Ages delves into aging’s whimsy, memories, racial markings, and rediscoveries; it butts heads with the rules and comparisons of each age, and dives into erotics of aging, the delicious, explosive, sensual discoveries at different ages.The featured writers in the group range in age from their 30s to 70s, and offer varied perspectives on aging’s pleasures and fears, expressing a range of quixotic emotions and striving corporealities. Each pushes against cultural silence about aging, and imagines its ever-changing bodily and dream states. Unicorns, sex, rage, unknowns, images, disabilities, lake swimming, and edibles will appear.
