CALL TO ARTISTS Collage Magic Artist Residency: New Orleans A five-day, in-person collage artist residency in New Orleans, Wednesday, 25 October to Sunday, 29 October 2023. What role do artists play in nurturing and supporting magic traditions? Through our artwork, we can share stories, demystify histories, reinforce ancestral or community connections, and celebrate magical practices in ways that are safe, comfortable, and legible. We can make visible cosmologies other than those of the prevailing culture and hold space for alternative worldviews. At various times, such work can be profound acts of resistance, caring, or celebration. With its history of surrealism, collage in particular lends itself to this work. Artists are invited to join us in New Orleans the weekend before Halloween to explore these themes. In addition to a focus on artist practice, we will explore contemporary art that references magic, altar making, and ritual practice and take a walking tour of New Orleans and explore the city as an archive of magic. A visit to the Historic New Orleans Voodoo Museum will afford us the opportunity to consider how contemporary practitioners are engaged with magic traditions in the 21st century. Residents will make collage that will be featured in an upcoming book about magic and collage being published by Kolaj Institute. For details, visit This Week at Kolaj Magazine on our website, follow the link in profile. Kolaj Magazine is a quarterly, printed, art magazine reviewing and surveying contemporary collage with an international perspective. We are interested in collage as a medium, a genre, a community, and a 21st century art movement.
