Christopher Kurts recalls the formation of the Kolaj Street Krewe from its creation at Kolaj Fest New Orleans to a guerilla art project during the COVID-19 pandemic to an artist residency for Street Artists. The book contains examples of collage as street art by twenty-four artists from eight countries. Christopher Kurts explains the title, \u201cWallflower is often used to describe someone shy or awkward, standing at the edge of things, not participating. But we\u2019re turning that on its head and drawing the solitary artist out from their secluded studio and onto the street. These flowers are blossoming in full view.\u201d An introduction by Ric Kasini Kadour situates collage in the history of street art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about the project&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/kolajinstitute.org\/kolaj-street-krewe\/\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ABOUT THE BOOK<br><em>Wallflowers: Collage as Street Art<\/em><br>by Christopher Kurts , Kolaj, and Ric Kasini Kadour<br>88 pages; 9&#8243;x6&#8243; <br>ISBN 978-1-927587-65-2<br>$20 USD<br>Published by Maison Kasini, Canada, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Purchase the book from the publisher <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.kasinihouseartshop.com\/product\/wallflowers-collage-as-street-art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Christopher Kurts , Kolaj, and Ric Kasini Kadour<br \/>\nMaison Kasini, 2022<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1162,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[27,3],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Wallflowers-Cover.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8O04t-iJ","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1161"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1161"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1161\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1193,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1161\/revisions\/1193"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
