Send A Friend
Send A Friend is a mail art project by Maya Pindyck & Carla Repice that uses postcards– objects meant to be handled, sent and received– to bridge political and ideological differences. It features a set of twelve original photomontage postcards, each produced in limited sets of 100. Each postcard pairs altered images with text written by selected poets, scholars, and novelists. The lines of text are stripped of authorship and re-contextualized to emphasize their capacities for connection.
Each month, the artists mail postcards to 100 people in the U.S. across party lines: Republicans, Democrats, and third-party voters. Aiming to break through the barriers that separate us from each other, Pindyck and Repice send postcards that offer an alternative way of speaking, thinking, and feeling our shared humanity. The artists conceive of the postcard, too, as a friend: a vehicle for connection.
