Our Nostalgia Design Jam

Nostalgia – “A wistful desire to return to a former time or space in one’s life, and a feeling of sentimental yearning for the happiness of that former space or time.”

We live our lives on a linear timeline and often we can only see the significant moments in a bubble. Nostalgia allows us to see, hear or even smell something that triggers our memory past the bubble. It allows us to look back on a time when things were, for better or worse, different.

The pandemic created an isolated environment around us all and with isolation comes loneliness, lack of contact with others and exaggerated feelings of stress and anxiety. In this design jam we used nostalgia to look back on our lives and reflect on what was, what is and could be.
