Nostalgia encompasses everything from recalling fond memories of comfort to dangerous and consequential ideologies preventing us from moving forward as a culture. There is a heightened sense of nostalgia in this moment, where we are forced to slow down and both long for the before times, but also imagine futures better than the reality of our own histories.

Nostalgia - Anna Rotty

Over several weeks, 8 women met each week to consider the theme of nostalgia in their work. Nostalgia is something that encompasses multitudes, both warm and familiar, counterproductive and dangerous. They focused on this difficult to define, elusive and powerful emotion. Through conversations around their personal experiences as women, migrants, mothers, daughters, granddaughters, grandmothers, and as people reflecting on their pasts, all caught between places and homes, they realized early on that each of them felt nostalgia very differently, but as they shared more and more they found many threads and connections through their work.
