Exhibition of a CoolTan Arts Mail Art project documenting Londoners’ feelings about the Olympic & Paralympic Games 2012

The Postcard to the World exhibition will give visitors the chance to see postcards designed and made by artists across London depicting their memories and views of Olympics and Paralympics, celebrating the spirit of London 2012. Art works have been created in textiles, visual arts and sound art with CoolTan Arts participants and facilitating artists Lu Firth, Angelica Fernando, Isa Suarez and Michelle Baharier.

CoolTan Arts, a Southwark based arts-in-mental health charity have run this exciting project for the last year, giving participants the chance to create original postcard artwork, sharing their thoughts and feelings about London 2012. Inspired by the International Mail Art movement, where artworks are mailed, project participants use the iconic ‘postcard’ as a blank canvas to create individual artworks. Each postcard will aim to tell you something about its sender and their place in time.

The resulting artwork aims to map their personal psychogeography, give marginalised people a voice, and celebrate the contribution all Londoners can make to this historic Olympic event.
