We are taking an artistically curatorial approach to nostalgia. We explore the extent to which looking to the past can serve as a source of inspiration and influence our creative processes. Represented by the entire spectrum of artistic forms of expression, we will illuminate the topic from different, even cross-cultural perspectives.

While interviewing, researching, and compiling this issue, we were able to learn a lot about the topic, which we would now like to share with you. Among others, Tomohiro Kono, hair and wig artist from Japan, video game hacker and inventor of Plaguemon (spin-off of Pokémon), Tim Jacobus, cover illustrator of the well-known GooseBumps book series, come together in the issue. In the spirit of the title "all that is new is well-forgotten old", we are looking forward to gaining a new understanding of nostalgia, exploring artistic approaches and ways of dealing with it and ultimately developing the very personal effect of the feeling.
