The document describes a group of women in Helsinki called K65 who paint graffiti on legal walls. The youngest member is 65 years old and the oldest is 94 years old. Their goal is to create new and surprising art that reflects the present day, as most activities for older adults focus on memories and history. The group studies graffiti movies, books, and the history of urban art. A 65-year-old member says the group provides needed creativity and positive energy beyond more traditional activities for seniors like knitting.

There is a group of women in
Helsinki who paint graffiti, on
legal walls of course. The crew is
called K65:
The youngest painter is 65 years
old and the oldest is 94!
The goal is to arrange new, fresh
and surprising action that is
related to present day. There are a
lot of activities for over 65-year
olds but often it is something to
do with memories and history.
The crew also studies graffiti
movies, books and the history of
urban art. The participants have
been interested about the subject
that used to be unfamiliar and
even scary to them.

5. "This is just what we need! Not just some sissy soft stuff
for grannies. Knitting some socks is cool but we need
something else as well. Also grandma burlesque is okay!
There´s not enough superlatives to describe this kind of
creativity and positive energy..."
-grandma (65-years)
