I Do Believe – Mailart
Deadline: June 30, 2022
Dates & location of event context: documented on https://littlemailbox.blogspot.com/, and physically exhibited at The Vargas Gallery, Mission College, 3000 Mission College Blvd, Santa Clara, CA 95054-1897, August 29 – September 26, 2022
The theme of the exhibition is your opinions about abortion. The woman’s right to abortion in the United States became Federal law on January 22, 1973 through the Supreme Court Case, Roe v. Wade. Individual states could no longer have their own laws that would contradict the provisions of this Supreme Court decision. But the passage of Roe v. Wade did not put the issue of abortion rights to rest. Recent cases under review in the United States Supreme Court may change or overturn abortion rights in many States. There are widespread disagreements among United States politicians, media, and citizens about abortion. I would like to receive your personal point of view about this complex and difficult topic.
To participate, please write on the front of your card (the side with the picture) your belief on either right to life (against legalized abortion) or right to choose (legalized abortion). It can be a few words, one sentence, or a paragraph. You do not have to be an artist to participate. It can be in English or any country’s language. The purpose of this exhibition is to share beliefs, opinions and experiences on all sides of this issue. Cards will be exhibited together, without prejudice, on a large cape worn by a life-size mannequin. I hope that you will share your thoughtful, heart-felt beliefs, whatever they may be, on this complex and important subject. Please share this call for postcards with your friends and organizations.
