Mail Art Project

In place of an annual in-person National Gathering in 2021, IA hosted a virtual National Gathering and produced a special issue of IA’s multimedia journal Public, “The Shape of Us: Water Ways and Movements.” In addition to inviting IA members to contribute to the virtual conference and journal issue, we also invited our members to engage with the topic of water through creative artmaking and reflection – hence our inaugural mail art project!

Explore the mail art submitted by the IA community in response to the 2021 Mail Art Project #1 prompt: How has water (literally or metaphorically) influenced, impacted, inspired or challenged you, your community, family, work, culture, or another facet of your identity?”
