The future we were promised is still promising — something I’m studying for the PhD! 🐠 🏝️ 🤖 Of all the #aesthetics from the #2000s, the one called #frutigeraero… Is glossy, skeuomorphic, & saturated. But is more than a #nostalgia for the past, but a nostalgia for the future that could (still) be.

Diving into the 1st community for my #PhD #thesis. The future we were promised: #Frutigeraero is a retrofuturism I grew up with. The skeuomorphic, saturated, soulful look instilled in me a deep optimism for the world. Nostalgia here is both for the past that was and the future that could still be.

🎂🖍️🚬 What did your childhood smell like? Birthday candles, crayons, or cigarettes around the house? I spoke with artist Vanessa Haguel about her work on combining #art #sensory materials, #smells, #music, #creativewriting and imagination to recount our #nostalgia for #childhood!!

🍰 What did your first birthday smell like? Sweet wax, dull candles, or the fear of growing up? Vanessa Haguel from UQAM explored this in her workshop, “Nostalgia Scent: Past and Future Lives”. #nostalgia #birthday #childhood #memory #memories #perfume #art #candles #nostalgic

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.

A wrap of #nostagain 2026. We united 13 presenters & 11 artists to reflect on how their #history, #memory, and biographies operate as the 'FRAMES OF REFERENCE' they use to make sense of #nostalgia 🎉 🍿 The full recording of our symposium is now up: nostagain.ca/2026/02/14/s...

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.

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!
