Give & Receive: From the Virtual to the Real
Event Actions
The 4th Annual Artivism’s Summer Expo presents Give & Receive: From the Virtual to the Real. Participating artivists closed their devices; avoided the “send” button, and went retro by mailing printed postcards containing their original art.
Here you will find postcards that share their thoughts, ideas, suggestions, expressions, messages, and more about the status quo of the world. Poems, photography, collage, or drawing, the postcards reflect hope, joy, love, peace, growth, healing, positivity, dreams, nature, beauty, heritage, strength, perseverance, and community. They are created by children, teens, and adults of all ages and from all over the world.
In addition, we present a gallery of awarded Artivism posters dating back to Spring 2021. Each season reflects the commitment of those who, through art, aspire to nurture change for a more meaningful and dignified coexistence.
This exhibit complements Backpack, Camelback, Outback, Wayback: Curious Accounts of Travel, a historical display of writings, photographs, postcards, maps, and more in the nearby Curiosity Cabinets.
Upon closing of this multi-venue exhibition, all artworks will be distributed among participants, creating the opportunity to connect and continue the exchange.
