Kolaj Institute and Kasini House’s Art Meets History project are organizing a Queer Women’s Artist Lab: New Orleans, 18-22 November 2024.
Early Deadline to Apply: Thursday, 26 September 2024
Final Deadline to Apply: Thursday, 10 October 2024
Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis until space is filled. Artists are encouraged to apply well before the deadline.
The goal of the Queer Women’s Artist Lab: New Orleans is to equip artists with tools and strategies for picking up the unfinished work of history and speak to contemporary civic discourse around social, economic, and environmental issues. Through interactive sessions in the Lab and panel discussions, artists will explore their process and practice; present a slideshow of their work; receive supportive, critical, curatorial feedback about their ideas; and discuss contemporary issues.
During the lab, artists will make collage to explore artist practice, process, and meaning making. Artists will explore the queer geography and history of New Orleans and consider how similar geographies and histories from their home communities may inform their proposal. Artists will complete the Lab with a project proposal for a contemporary art project (an exhibition or a book) and a sample work that will be considered for an exhibition that will take place in 2025 or 2026.
The Queer Women’s Artist Lab: New Orleans is part of Kolaj Institute’s larger exploration of 21st Century queer identities which will culminate in an exhibition and book in 2025 and 2026.
