Nostalgia in Neon
SOVA BFA SHOW
2026-03-27 ~ 2026-04-08
Reception: Friday, March 27, 1-3 pm
The Armory Gallery, in collaboration with students from Exhibition Design and Display and Advanced Exhibition Design, presents Nostalgia in Neon, an 80's pop culture pop-up exhibition.
This multi-media interactive exhibition explores deeper truths about society, past and future, through the lens of 80s pop culture. Visitors to the exhibition can immerse themselves in an installation of a 1980s bedroom, view original 1980s pop culture collection items on loan from the Virginia Tech Bill Green Material Culture Teaching Collection, watch period television footage, contribute to a collaborative collage of 1980s magazine photos, and take home their very own 1980s themed button (while supplies last).
