Abstract
This article presents the story of a symposium dedicated to the life and legacy of Agnès Varda and its move online due to COVID-19, reflecting on this process and its implications for future scholarship. Based on this experience, and using Varda's own late-career digital transition as a model, the author interrogates the potential for online platforms to serve as a kind of scholarly postcard that offers accessible and more sustainable practices for sharing research and building more resilient and inclusive academic communities.
