Montreal-based collagist Emmanuel Laflamme writes, “Combining cultural references, I combine ancient and modern myths to share my perspective on the world, at once tender and critical. The absurd is my playground and anachronism is my specialty.” During his residency, Laflamme will create a new series of collages that push his boundaries and focus on developing a better understanding of his own artistic practice. He will meet with New Orleanians and collect materials locally, working from what he finds. He will seek inspiration in archives and local history museums. The body of work he creates in New Orleans will influence future work in painting, mixed media and other artistic endeavors. On Saturday, November 2, 2024, 2-4PM, the public is invited to visit Kolaj Institute Gallery to meet the artist and see how the artwork is progressing. ABOUT KOLAJ INSTITUTE'S SOLO RESIDENCIES The mission of Kolaj Institute is to support artists, curators, and writers who seek to study, document, and disseminate ideas that deepen our understanding of collage as a medium, a genre, a community, and a 21st century movement.

Join us Wednesday, November 6th at 6:30 pm to celebrate the launch of Marguerite Sheffer’s collection, The Man in the Banana Trees: Stories. Marguerite will be in conversation with Maurice Carlos Ruffin. The discussion and reading will be followed by an audience Q&A and a book signing. $5 tickets include entrance to this engaging conversation and curated refreshments. $20 tickets also include a signed copy of The Man in the Banana Trees: Stories. “Haunting and hilarious, horrifying and heartwarming, this is short story gold. Marguerite Sheffer is the alchemist, reimagining and transmuting the form.” - John Vercher, author, Devil is Fine The stories in The Man in the Banana Trees take place in the past, present, and future—from the American Gulf South to the orbit around Jupiter. We meet teachers and students, ghosts and aliens. An ice cream consultant in the year 2036 predicts a devastating flavor trend and a disgruntled New England waiter investigates a mysterious tanker crash. Although wildly varied in setting, length, and genre, a thread of the fantastic unites these stories, as characters struggle to understand that thing lurking at the edge of their perception: something sinister, or maybe—miraculous. Marguerite Sheffer teaches courses in design thinking and speculative fiction at Tulane University, and is a founding member of Third Lantern Lit, a local writing collective, and the Nautilus and Wildcat Writing Groups. Sheffer lives in New Orleans, Louisiana. Maurice Carlos Ruffin is the author of National Bestseller, The American Daughters, as well as The Ones Who Don’t Say They Love You, a One Book One New Orleans selection, which was longlisted for the Story Prize. His debut, We Cast a Shadow, was a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award, the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, and the PEN America Open Book Prize. All three books were New York Times Editor’s Choice selections. Ruffin is the winner of the Iowa Review Award in fiction and the Louisiana Writer Award. Ruffin is an associate professor of Creative Writing at Louisiana State University. *If you have a service dog, please let us know ahead of time so we can put away our devious shop cat.* Information Source: Blue Cypress Books | eventbrite

Host and show creator Chris Trew’s lightning quick humor and unmatched production skills leads Open Mic From Hell audiences on a joyfully bombastic journey from the moment he hits the spotlight. This show is a whirlwind of unpredictable discoveries. Hilariously enchanting and endears fans to both the brave comics on stage and to the freedom comedy chaos creates.
