retrospectives
Career exhibition events
Retrospectives are exhibitions or reviews that look back over a body of work, typically an artist's career: The museum mounted a retrospective of her paintings from the past forty years.
In software development, a retrospective is a team meeting held after a project phase to assess what went well and what could improve.
The singular retrospective also works as an adjective meaning backward-looking.
