“Radical Reimaginings” is co-curated by Suzanne Sbarge of 516 ARTS and Ric Kasini Kadour of Kolaj Institute and presented as part of 516 ARTS Museum from Home initiative during the pandemic and as a featured exhibition of Kolaj LIVE Online, a series of virtual programs in the form of forums, panels, workshops, artist talks, studio visits, and other activities that allow people to come together, learn and talk about collage, and connect in real time to the collage community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To build “Radical Reimaginings”, the curators invited artists who use collage in their practice to put forward a work of art that offers a visual narrative that speaks to our time. \u201cWe asked artists to reflect upon the unprecedented change unfolding in 2020 as we adapt to life during a global pandemic and as we wrestle with long ignored racial and social inequities, the murder of Black people in the United States by law enforcement in particular. In addition to an artwork, we asked them to provide a statement of what they wanted to reimagine,\u201d wrote Kadour in the publication\u2019s introductory essay. Forty artists from nine countries and multiple Indigenous peoples\u2014Salish-Kootenai\/M\u00e9tis-Cree\/Sho-Ban, Tlingit\/Nisga\u2019a, Oglala\/Lakota, and Seneca Nation\u2014offer a variety of perspectives. The voices of Black, Latinx, Native, and white Americans mingle with those from Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Argentina, Canada, France, and Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition is accompanied by the book Radical Reimagingings<\/em>, featuring the work of each artist in the exhibition and accompanied by a statement in which the artists describe how they want to reimagine the world. \u201cThe work of destruction, inherent to reimagination, is already taking place in social relationships, economic structures, political alliances, and communal life,\u201d writes Kadour. \u201cTo not seize this moment and begin the work of reimagination is to give into ruination, to cede hope.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Radical Reimaginings<\/em> is the August item being sent to members of the Golden Glue and Silver Scissors Societies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
