APPEL ART POSTAL – ART POSTAL, ART EN RÉSISTANCE #4

BLACK FRIDAY IS A JOKE

Chaque année, le Black Friday est un grand moment de consommation effrénée ! Des milliers d’affiches et de spots publicitaires font clignoter nos neurones pour nous inciter à acheter, acheter et acheter encore !

Mais sommes-nous, en tant que consommateurices, les seul.e.s responsables de ce moment de fièvre acheteuse qui nous pousse vers des produits dont l’utilité reste souvent à démontrer et dont la fabrication est, dans la grande majorité des cas, toxique pour la planète ? Ou faut-il interroger le système capitaliste, ses moyens de production polluants et sa politique de l’offre qui nous incitent, au travers de cette fabrique du consentement qu’est la publicité, à nous entourer de choses qui sont loin d’être nécessaires à notre vie de tous les jours ?

Nous vous invitons à déployer votre créativité pour réfléchir et donner une réponse artistique à ces questions ! Une réponse qui, bien sûr, voyagera par la poste !

 

Comment faire pratiquement ? : l'art postal, c'est simple comme une lettre à la poste !

1. S’emparer de la thématique, la triturer grâce à ce processus alchimique qu’est votre créativité et l’illustrer (Technique libre : dessin, peinture, collages, sérigraphie, calligraphie, broderie, etc.)

2. Nous envoyer un mail confirmant votre participation avec vos coordonnées complètes (Nom, prénom, adresse postale et e-mail) : laurent.wilmet@afico.be

3. Envoyer la carte postale ou l’enveloppe contenant une carte postale avant le 30 septembre 2025 à l'adresse suivante : AFICo asbl, rue Saint Nicolas, 84, B- 5000 Namur, Belgique.

Max. 2 œuvres par artiste // Dimensions requises :10 x 15 cm

4. Une exposition sera organisée à Namur fin 2025.

MAIL ART CALL – MAIL ART, ART TO RESIST #4

BLACK FRIDAY IS A JOKE

Every year, Black Friday is a time of unbridled consumerism! Thousands of posters and adverts make our neurons flash to encourage us to buy, buy and buy again!

But are we, as consumers, the only ones responsible for this buying frenzy that pushes us towards products whose usefulness often remains to be proven and whose manufacture is, in the vast majority of cases, toxic for the planet? Or should we question the capitalist system, its polluting means of production and its supply-oriented economic policy which, through the factory of consent that is advertising, encourages us to surround ourselves with things that are far from necessary to our everyday life?

We invite you to use your creativity to think about these questions and come back to us with an artistic response! An answer that will, of course, travel by post!

Mail art, as simple as a letter in the post 

1. Take up the theme, transmute it through the alchemical process that is your creativity and illustrate it (free technique : drawing, painting, collage, silk-screen printing, calligraphy, embroidery, etc.)

2. Send us an e-mail with your contact details (last name, first name, postal address and e-mail) to confirm your participation :  laurent.wilmet@afico.be

3. Send the postcard or envelope before September 30 2025 to : AFICo asbl, rue Saint Nicolas 84, B‑5000 Namur, Belgium

Maximum submissions : 2 // Required dimensions : 10x15 cm (4x6 inch)

4. An exhibition will be held in Namur in late 2025.
