VII Photo contributing photographers Ed Kashi, Ilvy Njiokiktjien, and Sara Terry have initiated 1 in 6 by 2030, a global visual storytelling project that addresses a significant demographic shift: by 2030, one in six people worldwide will be over the age of 60.

Its first chapter, 72, will be featured at the 2024 Photoville Festival in New York City. The exhibition includes photo essays from international photographers, each portraying the life of a 72-year-old in their community, reflecting the current global median life expectancy.

72 is curated by Kashi, Njiokiktjien, and Terry. It is presented in collaboration with Talking Eyes Media and supported by Dutch Culture USA and the UN Decade of Healthy Aging Global Campaign to Combat Ageism.
