A café where you get a sketch from the past (e.g., #2000s #CartoonNetwork style, 80s #comicbook style) by a live and professional #artist Folks also exchanged stories, adding a second layer of #nostalgia in the air — and making that present moment a future nostalgic thing to look back to.

Messy, abstract, & overly politicized ideas like #nostalgia and #home — can it be an #art #workshop? 24 folks in #Montreal explored this with #burlap by reweaving intentionally. My home was tied up by red/white 🇨🇦 and blue strings 🇹🇭. I reimagined my past more honestly, truthfully, & creatively.

On Nov 25, we'll be Weaving Stories of Home. If you are in #montreal then, come join me at the Milieux Institute, where you will: - Learn to unweave & reweave with two #textiles specialists - Share and create a "material home" for your #nostalgia - Drink hot choc during a snow day :-)

What does nostalgia look like? At a talk I gave today at Tampere University’s OASIS lab, #nostalgia was a collection of leaves marked by people’s definitions. 🍁 They passed their leaves to others, and received a new set; if they agreed— fold once— if they did not — crumple ‘em up!

Oasis Lunch Talks are back! @srirachanikorn.bsky.social starts the semester with a great talk about nostalgia and video games, talking all things nostos and algos. Got a lot of great ideas from this that I now need to push aside so I can focus on the paper at hand 😅
