FROM KOLAJ 29<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Report from Warsaw<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For Kolaj<\/em> #29, Polish collage artist Marta Janik sent us a report about the \u201cCollage Language\u201d project taking place in Warsaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Collage Language project held several events between September and December 2019 with the goal “to discover the universal connections that collage can create, bring people together, and ask the question, What would happen if we used collage to create a story about our part of the world?\u201d The culmination of the project was a large exhibition in December 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Collage Language is only just beginning,” reports Janik. \u201cCollage Caf\u00e9 is a series of monthly collage workshops, each one led by a different artist. During COVID-19, each Collage Caf\u00e9 is a 10-minute video of an artist explaining their collage process and giving viewers a task.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Janik’s full report appears in Kolaj<\/em> #29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Collage Language” appeared in <\/em>Kolaj #29. To see the entire issue, SUBSCRIBE<\/a> to <\/em>Kolaj Magazine or Get a Copy of the Issue<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
