MAIL ART PROJECT

An intercultural WW1 project between young people based in the North East of England and international locations

 

Marking the Centenary of the First World War, this mail art project for young people (aged 11-25 years) aims to create cross-cultural dialogue and exchange through research and visual art. Theresa Easton, the North East of England Project Manager and Visual Artist, will be working with young people in her region.  The young people will develop creative skills which will be used to make Mail Art which interprets their understanding of WW1 heritage in relation to project themes including:

Trench Art

Women & the War

People’s Stories

MOURNIN IN 12 MOVEMENTS

Poem by Guido Vermeulen, Belgium

Translation by David Stone, USA

NOTES:


5

In the trenches of WW1, the Flemish movement in Belgium started.

Commanders were French but most soldiers Flemish.

The soldiers could not understand their orders; "et pour les flamands la même chose".

How many men died for that?


8

Reference to the murder of Lumumba.

His corpse was hacked to pieces and dissolved in acid.

The dentures did not dissolve and were thrown in the ocean.
