Heller Salon Series: Dr. Kristen Galvin

Presented by Heller Center for Arts and Humanities at UCCS at UCCS - The Heller Center, Colorado Springs CO

Sep 29 2022

Join us as Assistant Professor Dr. Kristen Galvin presents her research titled “Hypernostalgia in Contemporary American Visual Culture”.

After a summer of “Running Up that Hill” and the return of Maverick to the not-so- friendly skies and box office, today’s visual culture in the United States curiously looks, sounds, and feels increasingly like the 1980s. Join Dr. Kristen Galvin for a discussion regarding the pleasures and pitfalls of this escalation in media nostalgias, and the state of being stuck on, and in, the last decades of the 20th century.
