Collage artists have unique skills that are particularly useful in our historical moment. They understand that something beautiful, something meaningful can come from chaos; that destruction is easier than creation, which takes patience, precision, thoughtfulness, and intuition. What happens when we bring those two groups together?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy initial apprehension over how effectively far-off artists can engage the historical archives of a small Vermont community was melted away by their keen and sympathetic exploration of our materials,\u201d said Garcelon-Hart. \u201cThe prevailing threads that seemed to ignite the group was their compassion for the omitted or ignored in the collections, and their cognizance of interconnection between humans, the environment, and the natural world. Clearly, the empathy factor is what bonds communities across borders, cultures, and times.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Stewart-Swift Research Center, the Henry Sheldon Museum of Vermont History invited an international network of collage artists to engage with historic material in the archive and to create a folio of collage prints that reflect on the idea of community in a 21st century world. The prints are on exhibition at the Museum from 2 September 2022 to 26 August 2023 and the subject of a&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.kasinihouseartshop.com\/product\/artists-in-the-archives\" target=\"_blank\">book published by Kolaj Institute<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the curatorial direction of Kolaj Institute Director Ric Kasini Kadour and with the support of Stewart-Swift Research Center Archivist Eva Garcelon-Hart and Henry Sheldon Museum Collections Associate Taylor Rossini, the Museum engaged with twenty-three artists from seven countries to make twenty-four collage prints referencing history material in the collection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"323\" src=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Prints-three-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13028\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Prints-three-1.jpg 700w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Prints-three-1-600x277.jpg 600w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Prints-three-1-300x138.jpg 300w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Prints-three-1-260x120.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(left to right):&nbsp;<em>Long Enough to Write Our Names On<\/em>&nbsp;by Allison Spence;&nbsp;<em>Is It a Human Race<\/em>&nbsp;by R.

Using letters of women working at textile mills in the 19th century,&nbsp;<em>At the Loom<\/em>&nbsp;by Illinois-based artist&nbsp;<strong>Alexa Frangos<\/strong>&nbsp;speaks to the experience of being forced to labor away from one\u2019s community.&nbsp;<strong>Elaine Luther<\/strong>&nbsp;uses a 19th century advertisement for Lydia Pinkham\u2019s Vegetable Compound which promised \u201ca positive cure for all female complaints\u201d to draw attention to the historical role women play as healers in the community.&nbsp;<em>A Portrait of Emma Willard<\/em>&nbsp;by&nbsp;<strong>xtine<\/strong>&nbsp;offers a dreamy meditation on the women\u2019s education activist\u2019s life and philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Morgan King<\/strong>&nbsp;combines landscape photographs with images from the 1930s and 1940s of women swimming to consider the power water has on a community. King imagines these images in light of Larry Mitchell\u2019s 1977 novel,&nbsp;<em>The Faggots &amp; Their Friends Between Revolutions<\/em>, as a way to think about the lives of queer people in the past.&nbsp;<strong>Jeanna Penn<\/strong>&nbsp;used photographs of Louise Manning and the Hayden Family to explore what it means to be a minority in a community.&nbsp;<strong>Sheryl Renee Dobson<\/strong>\u2018s&nbsp;<em>Flags, Fences, and Faith<\/em>&nbsp;considers how Vermonters of color navigated community throughout history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Todd Bartel<\/strong>&nbsp;questions Eurocentric notions of community using an 1859 history of Addison County. In doing this, Bartel asks us to consider how a spirit of Manifest Destiny renders invisible those whose land Europeans \u201csettled\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"323\" src=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Prints-three-b.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13029\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Prints-three-b.jpg 700w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Prints-three-b-600x277.jpg 600w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Prints-three-b-300x138.jpg 300w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Prints-three-b-260x120.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(left to right):&nbsp;<em>Nothing would be the same without you<\/em>&nbsp;by Klara Espersen;&nbsp;<em>No Longer Absent<\/em>&nbsp;by Carmen Lizardo;&nbsp;<em>May Their Memory Be For a Blessing<\/em>&nbsp;by Ginger Sedlarova<br>each: 15\u2033x11\u2033; collage; 2022<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A number of collages focus on what communities are absent in the archive. By projecting and photographing images of women of African-American descent onto the physical storage room of the archive,&nbsp;<strong>Carmen Lizardo<\/strong>\u2018s collage draws our attention to the absence of Black people in the collection. Seeing \u201cminimal Jewish material in the archive\u201d,&nbsp;<strong>Ginger Sedlarova<\/strong>&nbsp;hopes to draw attention to what material is there to \u201cinspire the Jewish residents of Middlebury to donate archival materials.\u201d&nbsp;<strong>Young Shin<\/strong>&nbsp;struggled to find references to Asians in the archives, but a photograph of a retail store got her thinking about the material goods available in the town.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What non-human elements shape our communities?&nbsp;<strong>Anika Steppe<\/strong>&nbsp;considers the place of companion animals in communities using photographs of people and their pets found in the archive.&nbsp;<strong>Marta Janik<\/strong>&nbsp;was taken with images of trees she found perusing Stewart-Swift Research Center material found in the virtual collection of the University of Vermont\u2019s Landscape Change Program. Her collage asks us to think about the role trees play in our communities. When&nbsp;<strong>R. Galvan<\/strong>&nbsp;searched the Stewart-Swift Research Center archives for images of men, they found their attention driving to assorted photographs of animals and how people were forming communities around them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taken with the many representations of winter in the archives, the collage of Florida-based&nbsp;<strong>Allison Spence<\/strong>&nbsp;speaks to the role the season plays in the collective identity of the community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Combining a 19th century illustration of Merino sheep with advertisements from the 1970s and a photograph of the sky by M.

Sheldon, in 1882, and is considered the oldest community-based museum in the country. The Museum\u2019s Stewart-Swift Research Center archives are one of the most significant in the region. In 2022, the Research Center celebrates its 50th anniversary as a designated archival repository in its own right. The collection covers a broad range of subject areas with particular strength in agriculture, art and architecture, industry, religion, transportation, the environment, race and abolitionism, women\u2019s and gender studies, recreation, and other topics of local and national significance.&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.henrysheldonmuseum.org\/\">www.henrysheldonmuseum.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"350\" src=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/kolaj-institute-logo-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13031\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/kolaj-institute-logo-1.jpg 700w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/kolaj-institute-logo-1-600x300.jpg 600w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/kolaj-institute-logo-1-300x150.jpg 300w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/kolaj-institute-logo-1-260x130.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Kolaj Institute<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The mission of Kolaj Institute is to support artists, curators, and writers who seek to study, document, &amp; disseminate ideas that deepen our understanding of collage as a medium, a genre, a community, and a 21st century movement.

Symposiums and talks promote the idea and value of art and history working together. Artist Labs and an online directory connects artists and history organizations. With this work, we develop exhibitions, curatorial projects, and publications.
