UN POSTCARD SHOW
Take a Minute and Send Your Postcard for UN Postcard Show on Peace
Today
Request from WCAs International Chair, Priscilla Otani
Deadline -
September 1, 2009
Over the last two months I have been curating postcards that
speak out
against nuclear weapons and advocate for peace. These postcards,
documented
on http://wcaartwavesinternational.blogspot.com/, will be exhibited
at the
United Nations Mexico City conference from September 9-11, 2009.
I will also
discuss this postcard project at a conference workshop. The premise
of this
project is that civil society all around the world can speak out
about
social justice through art. Hand-made postcards are perfect vehicles
for
delivering such messages openly and succinctly. For those who have
created and mailed a postcard to me, thank you from the bottom of
my heart.
For those who haven't made a card yet, there is still time. The
deadline is
September 1, 2009, but I will continue to accept cards until I leave
for
Mexico City. So far, 131 cards have been collected - I would love
to reach
or exceed my personal goal of 300 cards. It would be wonderful to
demonstrate the power of the simple postcard.
The postcard show is open to all. Please check out website and
send in your
postcard today. Share the opportunity with your chapter members
and
friends. MJ Hayes
Submission address is on the website, http://wcaartwavesinternational.blogspot.com/.
