In 2025, our symposium was set on Friday 14th February at the 4TH SPACE, Concordia University. That year, we offered:
- 15 panelists exploring the bittersweetness of nostalgia;
- 12 research creation artists exploring grief and comfort;
- Live game demos and discussions;
- A “living room” corner to sit and chat with other nostalgics.
All symposium presenters and artists are listed on our Network page.
