Artists in the Archives: Community, History & Collage

Henry Sheldon Museum of Vermont History and Ilsley Library

Join project curator Ric Kasini Kadour,  Archivist Eva Garcelon-Hart, Kolaj Institute Coordinator Christopher Kurts 
and artist Jeanna Penn.

<p>Join project curator Ric Kasini Kadour, Stewart-Swift Research Center Archivist Eva Garcelon-Hart, Kolaj Institute Coordinator Christopher Kurts, and artist Jeanna Penn for a conversation about the intersection of art, collage, history, and archives. Local history museums, archives, and collections are vital to building healthy communities and to anchoring our understanding of the world around us in the place where we live, work, and play. Collage artists have unique skills that are particularly useful in our historical moment. They understand that something beautiful, something meaningful can come from chaos; that destruction is easier than creation, which takes patience, precision, thoughtfulness, and intuition. What happens when we bring those two groups together? </p><p> On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Stewart-Swift Research Center, the Henry Sheldon Museum of Vermont History invited an international network of collage artists to engage with historic material in the archive and to create a folio of collage prints that reflect on the idea of community in a 21st century world. </p>
