Nostalgia

Fragments of memory from bygone eras collect in a cultural consciousness that informs and influences the present in an ongoing intergenerational aesthetic and artistic exchange. Why do we yearn for the past? More specifically, why do we yearn for a past we never experienced? Nostalgia is seeing a revival as popular culture sifts through the relics of its own past to make sense of the present.

Is it an escape from the turmoil of the present day? A longing for the safety and comfort of a simpler time? Perhaps, rather, it is the yearning to foster a sense of continuity and meaning between the past and present. Glossi Mag investigates this continuity, coalescing aesthetics of the past with a contemporary sensibility in our editorial Nostalgia.
