This month’s CreativeMornings theme centers around the theme of Heritage. So, join us on a trip down memory lane.
In a technology obsessed industry, the future is often in the headlines. At the same time, retro revivals and a thirst for nostalgia have continually proven a steady trend for a contrast.
This month, our friends at CreativeMornings are highlighting the theme of Heritage.
For me, it’s extremely timely, coming just one month after losing my 96-year-old grandfather, and discovering his meticulously documented collection of photographic slides.
Visuals of the past can be alluring for a multitude of reasons. In my case, I focus on the story behind them, allowing them to embody those moments for as long as possible before giving in to the next urge to check my most recent Twitter notification.
To me, heritage is about proof—proof of the uncertain. Ultimately, we take the stories of what has gone before, make them our own, and eventually pass them along to future generations who will continue the cycle.
Here’s to building memories—history, even—with the visual arts.
