Love & Loss Nostalgia Symposium and Research-Creation Showcase

February 14, 2025 10:00 – 5:30 PM 4TH SPACE and online.

Dear Members, multiple Textiles and Materiality Cluster members, including Geneviève Moisan, will have work showcased at the NOSTAGAIN Network’s Love & Loss 2025: Nostalgia Symposium and Research Creation Showcase, exploring what the “love” and “loss” of nostalgia means for individuals, communities, and diverse fields. “LOVE & LOSS” is a day-long symposium and research creation showcase featuring works by students, scholars, and artists!

Come to feel, explore and reimagine nostalgia not as mere reminiscence, but as a powerful tool for understanding our collective past and reimagining our future. Inspired by Svetlana Boym’s concept of “creative nostalgia”(2021), this event brings together students, scholars, and artists to probe the complex emotional landscapes of remembering and forgetting.

The NOSTALGIA/LOSTAGAIN symposium is a student-led symposium that explores creative nostalgia through panel discussions and workshops from experts in the arts and sciences.
