    Sources of strength - we live in a rather broken world, characterized by environmental destruction and pollution, climatic catastrophes and war conflicts, not to mention the personal and work-related problems that many people have to deal with. We are asking: Where do you get the strength to go through life upright despite all this? What brings you joy, what creates hope and confidence, what puts a smile on your face, what brightens your heart? Whether it is friends or family, art or music, religion or philosophy, sports or meditation, whether it is the smile of your neighbor or the chirping of birds in the morning - whatever makes you strong and powerful, let us know!

    We want to focus on the positive and empowering aspects of life as we need them to survive in this world. We are curious and looking forward to receive your answer!

     

    Postcard, maximum 14.8 × 21 cm / 5.8 x 8.3" inches

    Mail Art Open Call  “Stop Sex Colonialism in Ukraine”.

  • Richard BAUDET

  • Jennie Hinchcliff

    Feministo 2024 was launched in September 2024 and is a new project for women and self-identifying female Networkers in the mail art scene. The project is inspired by Ginny Lloyd's Blitzkunst questionnaire and Monica Ross's Postal Art Event 1975 - 77. Feministo 2024 is one part assembling zine, one part info-sharing, and one hundred percent dedicated to physical documentation for all participants.

    Interested fe(mail) artists should email hellofeministo2024@gmail.com to receive a link to The Questionnaire, which is the primary way of gathering information for the project. Once 10 Questionnaires are completed, the project organizer compiles answers into a zine; the zine is then mailed to the 10 people who filled out The Questionnaire -- and the process starts all over again. Feministo 2024 intends to continue through the end of the year, producing zines every 10 participants.

    Participants are encouraged to include a physical mailing address to exchange postal mail with other artists in their issue of the zine, but it isn't required. Fe(mail) artists outside the United States are welcome to respond to The Questionnaire.

    More details and photos of the project at: https://www.feministoproject.com

    LAST CALL FOR FEMINISTO’S 2024 QUESTIONNAIRE:
    The time is now if you want to take part in Feministo and answer The Questionnaire! Female and femail-identifying correspondence artists are invited to fill out a brief questionnaire; once 10 questionnaires are completed, answers are compiled into a zine and mailed to the 10 participants. Deadline: 12.31.24.

    In 2025, Feministo will move into other (postal/documentation/online) formats and processes. Interested in knowing more or filling out The Questionnaire? Email hellofeministo2024@gmail.com or visit www.https://www.feministoproject.com or visit www.feministoproject2024.com
