Faulkner said the past is not even past. David Lowenthal, among others, has said that the past is a foreign country. But in fact the past is all around us and constitutes a big part of our sense of who and where we are. The past is central to people’s personal stories, to well-known novels, and to our sense of where we are in the urban landscape. Come join us as three people talk about how the past is an important part of their work.
