"Home is Everything" Exhibit Audio Clips

Where we live affects us well beyond the literal set of walls we live within, because home transcends a physical space. How do we get to the heart of what home means? We must ask. There are compelling reasons to share stories of elders and compelling benefits for what we gain from experiencing their stories. During the Summer and Fall of 2024, The Span Center, VCU Gerontology, and community partners interviewed 20 of our region’s centenarians, 12 of whom are represented here.
