Sophia Aronson of West Falmouth takes a seat at the table for "re:past" at Malaga Island Preserve. Lining the shoreline are life-size cardboard cutouts of people meant to evoke islanders before they were evicted from their settlement in 1912 by order of then-Gov. Frederick W. Plaisted.
Chef Leslie Oster and Beasley collaborated on the "re:past" menu. Oster, shown plating summer berry pudding, included foods that might have been common at the time, using ingredients that would have been available to islanders.

Jean Scott of West Point, who has ancestry dating back to Malaga Island and spent her youth exploring there, pauses to take a photograph next to one of the "re:past" art installations. This one, a wood frame with painted silkscreen stretched over it, was meant to evoke the homes of the island's turn-of-the-century inhabitants.
