Dr Karen Patterson is taking part in a celebration of the overlooked moments of ageing, while other recent Flinders successes include an award win for tales of SA Governors and an impressive accolade for a Flinders fashion design student.
Living Proof of expert guidance
Dr Karen Patterson, from the College of Nursing and Health Sciences, will join leading SAHMRI researchers and Australian food personalities in a new exhibition that will celebrate the over-looked moments of joy, beauty and life-affirming experiences of ageing.
Her work will be accompanied by the beautifully penned words of Rosa Matto and the poignant photography of Italo Vardaro.
Co-presented by SAHMRI, Living Proof will also explore some of the lifestyle factors that influence lifelong health in panel discussions on The Do’s and Don’ts of Healthy Ageing and Dining, Dignity and Health.
Dr Patterson will take part in Dining, Dignity and Health on May 11, alongside Professor Geraint Rogers and food personalities Maggie Beer and Rosa Matto, who will share their passion for transforming health and wellbeing in ageing through food within the broader context of food as nutrition, culture and the dining experience.

A history of the Governors of South Australia. The Keain Medal is awarded to a non-fiction publication on South Australian history that is deemed by the Historical Society of South Australia Council to be the most significant in the previous calendar year.
