Mail Art + Pen Friends = Dear You Art Project
I am so honoured to have been invited to write about Dear You on HundrED, a not-for-profit organization, which seeks and shares inspiring innovations in K12 education.
Seeing that Dear You is a mail art exchange, I thought it was best fitting to introduce this project in the form of an open letter. Thank you Milo and Siiri for your good energy, creativity, honesty and open minds!
The European InSEA 2018 congress proceedings publication has been published! Arlene Tucker presented on behalf of Dear You during the congress in Finland, in June 2018. The abstract from the presentation, Dear You: Shared Spheres in Creative Spaces was written by Anastasia Artemeva and Arlene Tucker. It can be read on pages 891-892 of Synnyt-Origins, InSEA Congress 2018: Scientific and Social Interventions in Art Education.
Mira Kallio-Tavin and Oleksandra Sushchenko (co-editors of the issue) have “divided the issue thematically according to the congress themes and between peer reviewed and non-peer reviewed submissions, and visual essays and full papers. The rest of the presentations are published as abstracts. All in all, the publication includes 325 submissions and it takes 1473 pages.”

Feeling very honored to have been a part of Synnyt-Origins where I could meet so many talented, creative, and encouraging art educators from around the world!
With love,
Dear You
