Inspired by the beauty and sadness in finding old postcards in charity shops and second-hand bookshops, reading these lost letters from strangers of which you will most likely not cross paths with. Through these messages and accounts, you receive a raw insight into another time and another life.
‘Sent From…’ invites you to design and write a postcard, anonymously. It could be (but not limited to) to a friend, family member, politician, acquaintance or even a stranger to express, through design and writing, unsaid sentiments or words. Using the format of a postcard, the theme of the content is open but should be personal to you. Reflecting the writing, the image can be created and designed using any materials the only restrictions being that it can be printed as a physical card and not created using A.I. Open to any age and any ability.
Chosen artists will be invited to send their postcards in the post.
