Curated by Paz Guevara, a writer and scholar based between Berlin and Latin America, the exhibition includes Archivo Ambulante, a photographic archive of the group’s underground performances from the 1980s, as well as a slideshow of Zevallos’s 1989 performance in Stuttgart, Germany, and his paintings and collages - Sergio Zevallos’s Rituals of Disobedience - via Hyperallergic
First, women were photographed in a variety of landscapes around the state, including in urban, rural or remote locations, as well as being invited to submit their own photos. "We called for photographs from older lesbians across Tasmania with themselves in the landscape, looking at their landscape, so having a photograph of them from behind," Ms Vyvyan said. The photos were then collated, torn and laid out in a collage. Finally, the artists then used the torn photos as guides for painting their scenes - The Soup Collective to enter the Glover Prize to dispel myth of the 'individual genius artist' - via abc news

A selection of challenge submissions from last week is up on our website and can be seen here, the image prompt for next week is available to download here
Our 2024 Workbook is out and available for sale on our website. Our weekly creative challenge remains free and open to everyone and everything, digital or analog artists, French or not. The workbook is an optional add-on for those who prefer to work with paper and don’t want to print our images themselves. Like every year, the book is designed so that you can either take it apart or create your collages in the book itself. Week numbers and image sources are on the back of each image, so even if your books falls apart at one point, you will always know what’s what!
And last but not least, have a look at and/or submit to our ‘other’ Instagram account Paris Collage Collective Unlimited where we showcase collages that have absolutely nothing to do with our weekly creative challenge.
If you have any news about exhibitions, publications or events you want so share with the community, please send an email with all relevant information and at least one link to a website or venue to: hello@pariscollagecollective.com
