world-wide banana consciousness

by Anna Banana

Aug 13, 2012

Dear Banana Band,

So happy to make your acquaintence, and wonder if you are aware that there are MANY Anna Bananas in the world. Most just USE the name as a nick-name and haven't gone legal with it , while I made it official (legal change) back in the 80's after having used the name for over 15years.

    I have a number of other anna Bananas in my Encyclopedia Bananica files, and while I personally "bananas, fruity, nutty and completely ape," I can see the need for training of many others, in order to make the world a safe place for all bananas. Thus, the need for a drive for world wide banana consciousness. . . and to that end, wonder if you might entrust me with your special projects and exams that I could use with correspondents, in order to spread the banana consciousness more quickly and evenly around the globe. 

   I have been working at this myself, but now that I know of your group, feel there's a chance that, with group effort, we can spread banana consciousness more effectively. Here's a shot from my most recent event in Edmonton, July 1 this year . . . 

Go bananas, go!

all best from

Anna Banana

      Hello all

      if this is not appropriate for this group, please let me know and I’ll delete. 

      Anna’s work is archived in the Special Collections at Virginia Commonwealth University Library in Richmond Virginia USA. 
      She had been in touch with them a deeded some of her work. Subsequently, more work was deeded with the archives of our mutual friend Davi Det Hompson. A week before I found out she died, I sent the physical file of my correspondence with her to them. I informed them of her passing and received word today that they’ll organize an event or an exhibit in the spring. Hopefully, I’ll be able to document and post.

        How gratifying to know that the Virginia Commonwealth University Library will have an archive treasure of Anna Banana's mail art. Let us know, Mim, if and when they will have an exhibit. Anna Banana is dearly missed, but her art and spirit lives on.
