Nostalgia: Somewhere Between Comfort and Danger

Wednesday, March 24th, 7 pm ET

In this practice group circle-back, we will be exploring the theme of nostalgia in relation to boundaries. Nostalgia encompasses everything from recalling fond memories of comfort to dangerous and consequential ideologies preventing us from moving forward as a culture.

What are the implications and benefits of crossing the boundary to our past? Over the past several weeks, we've all taken a look at the various sides of this emotion and how it can serve as an entry point for making new work, looking at questions about ourselves, our histories, and offering new perspectives in reflection. By diving deep into nostalgia we've realized the breadth of this vulnerable topic, examining everything from war and personal trauma to quiet comforts and reflections on family and home.
