Twentieth century theorists have wrung every possible drop out of visual literacy as a concept. It does not explain a problem curator Marvin Heiferman frames as, &#8216;We know that photographs work, but not quite how they do.&#8217; This is dangerous. We may go misunderstood. Or worse, we may be misunderstood by others&#8230;Knowing how something works is key to using it effectively.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mediums of collage and photography are bound together in an ongoing dialogue. The photographer makes pictures of the world. The collagist remixes those pictures to tell a story about the world we live in. &#8220;Today, we\u2019re taking more photos than at any previous time in history,&#8221; noted EyeEm contributor Lars Mensel. &#8220;Many photographers are asking themselves how to set their work apart from that of their peers. Photography has become less about the skill to take technically perfect pictures&#8211;most modern smartphones accomplish this at the touch of a button&#8211;but how pictures are combined to tell a story.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Photography &amp; Collage Artist Residency invited photographers and collage artists to come together in dialogue, learn from one another, and make artwork for a series of exhibitions that explore the intersection of collage and photography. Unfolding in two tracks over the course of a week, we asked, What happens when a collagist picks up the camera? What happens when a photographer collages their pictures? Presentations explored collage in theory, artist practice, the ecosystem of art, the state of photography, and the history of photography and collage. Artists shot on film, explored the dark room, and made collage with the results. Artists will also shot digital images which were printed as collage material.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the residency, artists made an artwork that was exhibited at the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neworleansphotoalliance.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">New Orleans Photo Alliance Gallery<\/a>, 9 June-28 July 2024 at the New Orleans Photo Alliance Center (7800 Oak Street, New Orleans). A reception took place on Wednesday, 12 June 2024, 5:30-8:00PM as part of Kolaj Fest New Orleans, 12-16 June 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the residency, artists were invited to submit 3-5 artworks that were considered for an exhibition at Kolaj Institute in December as part of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/photonola.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">PhotoNOLA<\/a> 2024, an annual celebration of photography in New Orleans, produced by the New Orleans Photo Alliance in partnership with museums, galleries, and alternative venues citywide.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The residency was led by <strong>Dafna Steinberg<\/strong>, MFA, professor of darkroom photography at Delaware County Community College, and <strong>Lance Rothstein<\/strong>, a photojournalist and street artist who operates the darkroom and teaches photography and collage workshops at the Morean Art Center in Saint Petersburg, Florida. The project was curated by <strong>Ric Kasini Kadour<\/strong>, Director of Kolaj Institute and a 2020-2021 Curatorial Fellow of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and produced in partnership with the <strong>New Orleans Photo Alliance<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PARTICIPATING ARTISTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kolaj Institute announced the five artists from Canada and across the United States that were selected to participate in this five-day residency in New Orleans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"478\" src=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/alejandra-spruill-london-collage.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/alejandra-spruill-london-collage.jpg 700w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/alejandra-spruill-london-collage-600x410.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/alejandra-spruill-london-collage-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/alejandra-spruill-london-collage-260x178.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>London Collage 2023<\/em> by Alejandra Spruill<br>4&#8243;x8&#8243;; mixed media collage; 2023.

Not only does she center photography and collage art in her practice, but she passes pass along that knowledge as an educator. Before introducing her students to the darkroom, they all create collages, both as a method to learn about one another, but also to begin unlocking the visual sectors of the brain. The artist holds a BA in Visual Media Arts Production, as well as a law degree. She serves on the In-Sight Photography Project Board of Directors, a Vermont-based nonprofit centering enriching the lives of teens through the photographic arts. She also sits on the Board of Advisors at Artists for Humanity, a youth nonprofit in Boston, a program of which she is also an alumna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"721\" src=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/ashley-oconnor-behind-the-eyes.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/ashley-oconnor-behind-the-eyes.jpg 700w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/ashley-oconnor-behind-the-eyes-600x618.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/ashley-oconnor-behind-the-eyes-300x309.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/ashley-oconnor-behind-the-eyes-260x268.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Behind the Eyes<\/em> by Ashley O&#8217;Connor<br>12&#8243;x12&#8243;; mixed media collage; 2023.

Her practice extends beyond the conventional lens, embracing alternative processes and unconventional materials. Here, she delves into the realm of abstraction, where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur. She collects remnants of existence: weathered leaves, discarded papers, fragments of forgotten lives. These objects, once mundane, now find new purpose. In her compositions, they collide and converse, creating visual poetry. The artist holds a Masters in Teaching and a Bachelors in Studio Art (Photography) from the University of Virginia; and a Bachelors in Art Education from the University of South Alabama. O&#8217;Connor lives and works in Mobile, Alabama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/brandon-thomas-brown-black-specimen.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/brandon-thomas-brown-black-specimen.jpg 700w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/brandon-thomas-brown-black-specimen-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/brandon-thomas-brown-black-specimen-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/brandon-thomas-brown-black-specimen-260x173.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Black Specimen<\/em> by Brandon Thomas Brown<br>12&#8243;x18&#8243;; photography; 2020.

His approach allows for the creation of images that challenge preconceived notions about black identity and invite viewers to search for a visual landscape that blurs the lines between reality and abstraction. The artist holds degrees from the University of Delaware and The New School. Originally from Maryland, Brown lives in Brooklyn, New York, where he works as a portrait photographer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Marcus-Fields-Portrait_1600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Marcus-Fields-Portrait_1600.jpg 700w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Marcus-Fields-Portrait_1600-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Marcus-Fields-Portrait_1600-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Marcus-Fields-Portrait_1600-260x195.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Portrait 1600<\/em> by Marcus Fields<br>12&#8243;x18&#8243;; inkjet print; 2024.

He experiments with his photography and other graphic design projects through risography printing, letterpress printing, and relief printing. He experiments in a range of artistic expressions, including theater, video production, photography, and printmaking among others. His interest lies in finding intersections between these various mediums and allowing them to inform one another. He currently works as Assistant Director of Arts and Media Learning at Michigan State University\u2019s Residential College in the Arts and Humanities (RCAH), where he supports learning in a variety of technology-rich creative learning spaces: a media lab, an art studio, and a theater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/roxanne-rudov-bayou.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/roxanne-rudov-bayou.jpg 700w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/roxanne-rudov-bayou-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/roxanne-rudov-bayou-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/roxanne-rudov-bayou-260x195.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Bayou<\/em> by Roxanne Rudov<br>6&#8243;x9&#8243;; watercolor, screenprinted paper, vintage map, magazine clippings, wallpaper samples; 2017.

She also uses her photographs to inspire compositions of her collage. Her photography and collage practice inform each other and work in unison with her painting practice as well. Rudov studied painting, film and digital media at Tulane University, followed by screenprinting training, and jewelry making in her early career.
