New Orleans

As part of a year-long investigation of castles as buildings, metaphors, and systems of power, Kolaj Institute will host a week-long artist residency in New Orleans focused on Plantations from 13-17 October 2024. During this residency, collage artists come to New Orleans and explore the history of Plantations and learn how to adapt their artist practice to pick up the unfinished work of history and make art that contributes to the civic discourse. Through interactive sessions, visits to plantations, and collaborative collage making, artists will explore their process and practice; present a slideshow of their work; receive supportive, critical, curatorial feedback about their ideas; and discuss contemporary issues.

A week-long, in-person residency in which artists will explore how to adapt their collage practice to game design or incorporate games and play as a theme in their artwork.
