Event Description

The Manifesto
> "Still Life, Architecture of Harmony"
> We invite artists, visual poets, creatives, and dreamers from all over the world to reflect on the concept of Wa (和) — harmony born from the coexistence of differences — through the form and spirit of still life, understood not as a memento of transience, but as an ideal micro-society.
> Objects on the surface do not compete: they cooperate. The empty space gives breath to forms. Diversity becomes structure. Together, let us build a great architecture of peace and visual balance through the most democratic and traveling art form in existence: Mail Art.
>
Guidelines for Participation
* Theme: Wa, still life as an architecture of harmony, the balance between heterogeneous elements, peaceful and useful coexistence in a shared space.
* Format: Standard postcard size (approx. 10 \times 15 cm / 4 \times 6 inches).
* Technique: Free (drawing, collage, photography, printmaking, mixed media, visual poetry, stamps).
* Shipping: The work must travel by mail, open, without an envelope (as per Mail Art tradition, carrying stamps, postal cancellations, and the journey itself).
The Rules of the Game (Mail Art Ethos)
* Zero Juries: Every work received will be considered an integral part of the project and welcomed without any selection or aesthetic judgment.
* Zero Prizes: There are no winners or losers. The reward is cultural exchange, the trace of the postal journey, and the sharing of a common thought.
* Zero Fees: Participation is completely free. The only cost is the postage stamp needed to mail your postcard.
* Unlimited Works: You can send as many postcards as you wish. Each combination is a new building block of the architecture.
