Collage on Screen, an eclectic program of moving images, is part of Kolaj Institute’s Collage in Motion project, which explores collage and the moving image, a broad, loosely defined category that includes animations, film cut-ups, collage film, stop-motion, documentaries about collage artists, and other forms of media in which collage—as medium or genre—is present.
During this Kolaj LIVE Online, we are celebrating short collage films and animated GIFs. Host Ric Kasini Kadour will introduce Kolaj Institute's Collage in Motion project and a screening of films made by artists from the 2024 Collage on Screen Artist Residency. After the screening, we will be joined by some of those artists who will speak about their experience. In the second part of this event, we will visit the Dancing Pixel Exhibition, an online exhibition of animated GIFs that opened on 15 July 2025 and hear from some of the artists about how GIF making fits into their practice.
After the screening Ric Kasini Kadour will facilitate a Q&A session with filmmakers in attendance. For a preview of the program and more information, please go HERE.
ABOUT COLLAGE IN MOTION
For the Collage in Motion project, Kolaj Institute sees its role as not one of defining “collage in motion” but as one of asking what “collage in motion” can be. The project manifests as articles in Kolaj Magazine, an online directory, workshops, residencies, and screenings. Artists with a practice of Collage in Motion are encouraged to submit to the online directory.
