\u201cMerged\u201d is an exhibition of original 2D and 3D collage and assemblage artworks that includes mediums specifically (but not limited to) found objects, recycled materials, paper, fiber, wood, and metal. This will be the \u201cMerged\u201d exhibit\u2019s 4th iteration at the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exhibition features The Words They Told Us We Cannot Use<\/em> by Jennifer Myhre, which was made during Kolaj Institute\u2019s 2025 Politics in Collage residency. The artist writes, \u201cThis collage is made from deconstructed text of the words that folks in government agencies were told to remove from websites and other documents: anti-racism, racism, allyship, bias, DEI, diversity, diverse, confirmation bias, equity, equitableness, gender, gender identity, pronouns, transgender, injustice, intersectionality, prejudice, privilege, racial identity, sexuality, stereotypes, equality, inclusion, inclusive, all-inclusive, inclusivity, racism, feminism. The material for the letters is deliberately luscious and shimmery to evoke their power as conceptual tools. They can be read as either spilled out or as a river whose flow cannot be dammed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
