Each year, our annually hosted symposium and research-creation showcase reviews and accepts works on nostalgia by individuals and groups locally in Montreal, North America, and internationally.
Upon acceptance and presentation of their work, the nostalgic participant(s) will become a member of the NOSTAGAIN NETWORK!
