Light on Cut Paper: Photography & Collage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at The Art Spot in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
in conjunction with the New Orleans Photo Alliance<\/a>, Kolaj Institute<\/a> and Kolaj Fest New Orleans 2026<\/a>
10 June-10 July 2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Opening Reception: Wednesday, 10 June 2026, 5-8PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photography and collage have a long history of being in dialogue with one another; however, the intersection of these two mediums is poorly explored. New Orleans Photo Alliance and Kolaj Institute<\/a> are working together to investigate the intersection of this medium. They sought work by artists who collage their own photographs, make photomontage, use a collage-like process in either the composition of photographs or in the dark room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Included in this show is work from artists who took part in the Kolaj Institute Virtual Collage Residency, Making, Taking, Finding, Cutting: Material Explorations at the Intersection of Photography and Collage, in April and May 2026. The artists are: Amanda Olivia Woolery, Muriel A. Smith, Sasha-Kay Nicole, Shannon Nahara, and Lori Petchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The juror was Jan Kather<\/a>, who has been teaching media arts and humanities courses at Elmira College in Elmira, New York since 1979. Branching out from traditional darkroom\u00a0photography, she became involved in global collaborations, including Berkeley Commonplace projects such as \u201cFragments\u201d, \u201cSubject Matters\u201d, and the \u201cRound Table Collaboration Postal Collage Project\u201d. She has been a board member of Berkeley Commonplace<\/a> since its founding in 2021. After participating in Kolaj Institute\u2019s 2024 Photography and Collage Virtual Artist Residency, she developed a new awareness about her own history as a photographer, and seriously explored the concept of \u201cin-camera\u201d collage. Three of her pieces from this study are currently on exhibit at City Hall in Elmira, New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
