Creating Collage with Carol Jazzar

Carol Jazzar is an interdisciplinary artist based in El Portal. She began working in collage in 2012 as part of her own creative and personal exploration. Her practice informed her 2023 book All (W-hole) of Me, healing through Art, which features her collage work, a conversation with Lacanian psychoanalyst Karina Tenenbaum, and essays by curator Tami Katz-Freiman and historian M. Keely Sutton. The book examines creativity and the ways in which artistic processes shape self-understanding.

Creativity takes an unexpected turn in this collage-making workshop at The Things Lab. Participants will work with a method developed by artist and instructor Carol Jazzar, which is designed to let the final artwork emerge in surprising ways. No previous art experience is needed. Materials are provided, and translation is available in Spanish and French.
