During the COVID 19 pandemic, we found ourselves searching for ways to connect with people outside of virtual spaces. We decided to create a postcard set showcasing 29 Bay Area (mostly) artists. Our idea was that while so much communication was happening online, receiving something people could actually hold would bring hope and joy. People could hang postcards on their fridge as a reminder of care and friendship. By sending postcards, people also supported the postal service and could encourage friends and family to vote in the 2020 election.

Participating Artists: Libby Black, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Kevin Chen, Joe Ferriso, Claudia Huenchuleo Paquien, Nathan Kosta, Heesoo Kwon, Kija Lucas, Alicia McCarthy, Jenna Meacham, Gabby Miller, Keisha Mrotek, Natani Notah, Brion Nuda Rosch, Leonard Reidelbach, Kate Rhoades, Sherwin Rio, Leslie Samson-Tabakin, Nicole Shaffer, Owen Takabayashi, Weston Teruya, Hannah Tuck, The Bureau of Linguistical Reality, Raphael Villet, Hannah Waiters, Kristen Wong, Victor Yañez-Lazcano, Livien Yin, Minoosh Zomorodinia

All proceeds from selling the postcard sets were donated to Oakland People’s Breakfast and Hotels Not Graves.
