In this panel moderated by curator Renée Mussai, interdisciplinary lens-based artists Tarrah Krajnak, Justine Kurland and Keisha Scarville will consider photography’s rebellious relationship to collage as a double act of resistance, insistence and subversion. The radical material possibilities of collaging will be discussed through the prism of diasporic, feminist and activist modes of art-making as an intricate intersectional vernacular - and importantly, as a space for visual pleasure and liberation. Anchored in diverse lived experiences, the impulse to collage represents a potent visual strategy to create new meaning and forge new languages: disobedient, remedial, and reparative visual actions through deconstructed and reconstructed images that resist prevailing structures of power and instead open up different modes of layered seeing and looking.
