Mail Art Unites to Combat Human Trafficking: An International Call for Awareness

New York City, July 22, 2023 - In an effort to raise awareness and combat the pervasive issue of human trafficking, artists from around the globe are joining forces for a unique initiative - "Mail Art Against Human Trafficking" or "Arte Postal Contra Trafico Humano." The project, organized ahead of the World Day Against Human Trafficking on July 30, aims to shed light on the illegal and degrading practices endured by countless individuals worldwide. Through their creative expressions, these artists seek to break the silence surrounding this alarming phenomenon.

Human trafficking remains a severe global crisis that affects millions of people, leaving them trapped in exploitative and horrifying situations. Despite efforts from various organizations and governments, this modern-day slavery continues to thrive, often in the shadows of society. "Mail Art Against Human Trafficking" seeks to harness the power of art and creativity as a potent tool to inform and inspire change.

The call for artists to participate in this initiative beckons individuals to send their thought-provoking artworks to a specific address - Rumichaca 1323 and Clemente Ballen in Guayaquil, Ecuador. By utilizing the medium of mail art, the organizers aim to engage a diverse range of artists from all corners of the world, transcending geographical boundaries to unite against this common cause.

The chosen exhibition space, WordUp Community Bookstore in New York City, serves as a central point to showcase these heartfelt creations. As the artworks arrive, they will be thoughtfully curated to form a powerful visual display that speaks to the urgency of addressing human trafficking.

Mail art has a rich history of being a democratic and inclusive art form, often centered around societal issues and political activism. By incorporating this artistic practice into the fight against human trafficking, the organizers hope to amplify the message and reach a wider audience. Each piece of art will act as a voice, condemning the heinous crime and advocating for change.

Participants are encouraged to explore various themes surrounding human trafficking, including the stories of survivors, the impact on families, the role of society in eradicating this issue, and the importance of prevention and support systems. Through their art, these creators aim to dismantle the misconceptions and stigma associated with human trafficking, fostering empathy and understanding.

One of the project's key goals is to educate the public about the signs of human trafficking and encourage them to report any suspicious activities to authorities. By raising awareness, it is hoped that communities worldwide will become vigilant and responsive, thereby safeguarding vulnerable individuals from falling prey to traffickers.

As the submission deadline approaches on July 30, the anticipation for the unveiling of these compelling artworks builds. Organizers are optimistic that this powerful collective expression will resonate with visitors to the Word Up Community Bookstore, inspiring conversations and driving meaningful action.

In a world where art continues to transcend boundaries and serve as a mirror of society, "Mail Art Against Human Trafficking" stands as a testament to the strength of human compassion and creativity. Together, artists and audiences alike have the opportunity to make a real difference and contribute to the global fight against human trafficking.

Art by @zadiexa & reposted with permission. ❤️ Please go and read her post. @kyuuuail alerted me of some problematic aspects of the #yellowperilsupportsblackpower hashtag and @zadiexa’s explanation hits the nail on the head. Don’t forget about history, but also focus on doing the right things here and now to support the movement. #blacklivesmatter #blm #asians4blacklives #socialjusticeart #artwork #art (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBHFydej5D0/?igshid=17e5e6p1zbgo

@tylerivesnyc ・・・ Revealing the exploitation in the cocoa industry. This is one of my chocolate bar sculptures entitled “Cocoa Slaves”, beside several real chocolate bars. - - 70% of the Worlds cocoa production comes from the Ivory Coast and Ghana, where workers earn less than $2 a day to produce cocoa to meet the demands of US corporations. Among these workers are over 8 million child laborers, some of whom are also child slaves - who are being captured, trafficked, and forced into a life of labor on cocoa farms. US corporations know that child labor and child slavery is being used to produce their cocoa, but have done nothing to stop it. Brands such as Hershey, Nestle, Mars, Godiva, and Ferraro Roche all knowingly use child slaves to produce their chocolate and have made billions off of their suffering. This sculpture was made to bring awareness to the incredible cruelty of US chocolate corporations and encourage rebellion and collective action to hold them accountable for their crimes ✊ - - - #outsiderart #strangeart #uglyart #civilrights #socialactivist #socialart #humanrightswatch #socialjusticeart #socialist #decolonize #artforchange #artforpeace #socialcommentary #guerillaart #protestart #politicalart #socialchange #socialimpact #artivism #slavery #resistanceart #satire #artheals #equalityforall #anticapitalism #leftist #slaveryfreechocolate #childlabor #humantrafficking @the_anti_slavery_collective (at Woodside, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-SxnlnBXmI/?igshid=8hx58pc1gsp0

***VIEW DISCRETION ADVISED!*** Today, there was another school shooting. I’m very tired of watching our innocent children die while our country does nothing to protect them. My new piece of art (the second in a series on gun violence) graphically depicts the aftermath of these shootings. I advise anyone who has lost someone to gun violence, especially a child, please be cautious about viewing this piece. I created it in hopes of making blind pro-gun fighters uncomfortable. I’ve heard so many people tell me they don’t give a $*!+ about dying children as long as they can have their guns. If this is true for you, please view this piece and say those words. If you think your gun is more important than those lives, please view this piece and say those words. If you can both view this piece, and say those words, I pray your children never have to live through the fear of going to school and hearing gunfire in the halls. To all who have lost someone to this epidemic, my heart goes out to you. I’m so sorry that nothing is being done to end these heinous and completely preventable crimes. #EndGunViolence#ChildrenAreWorthMoreThanGuns#MarchForOurLives#CommonSenseGunControl#GunRegulation #EnoughIsEnough#TimesUp #ForTheKids #LoveWins#NoMoreBrokenHearts #TheBullet#MamasAintSupposedToBuryTheirKids

Encontre esta foto hoy, para recordarme de la serie que planeo hacer iluminando la vida de la mujer chola peleonera. A mujer chola no se deja de nada, y es una forma de vivir para que nadie chinge con ellas. La mujer chola se junta con otras mujeres cholas como manera de proteccion de maltratamiento que la sigue. La mujer chola sigue viviendo aunque no la veas! @indyartscene @sfmexicanmuseum @artscouncilindy @brownmujeresmedia @girlsincindy @womenofindyarts @mujeresdemaiz @babesrideout @sfartscollective @mujeresdelaluna @sfpostersyndicate @mujeresdelatierra @cholasxchulas #cholas #cholastyle #cholas #cholasbelike #artistatwork #artistsoninstagram #latinxartist #artistlife #socialjusticeart #socialjusticeart https://www.instagram.com/p/BrsZov0HYIE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=eq6zffgs5ie8
