Emerson students are known for their constant movement – we come from all different places and we go to all different places. We’re travelers, transplants, always making and leaving homes. We’re memory hunters, scrambling for moments that we can look at later. We want something we can hold to the light, something we can see and feel, something that says, Things were wonderful once, and I was there.
That’s why the theme for this edition of Black Swan is souvenirs. Because we are students, and we are travelers, and we are memory keepers. Because we share these memories – this proof that things were wonderful, once.
We hope you enjoy this edition, this shimmering collection of memories. These memories come from both the Summer 2019 Travel Writing class and the semester of Fall 2019.
