If nostalgia is "bittersweet", how do we parse out the positive and negative aspects of this feeling? How do companies, communities, and individuals differ in bringing back lost things they once loved? Is continuing to love something lost a form of resistance... or is it just counterproductive?
The NOSTAGAIN NETWORK presents "Love & Loss", a day-long symposium and research creation showcase featuring works by students, scholars, and artists!
How can you participate? Join us in person or online by registering for the Zoom Meeting or watching live on YouTube.
