Broma Arte Correo is the pseudonym of a mail art initiative in Santiago de Chile*). Last year, he ran an art call for submissions with the theme mi país (my country).
The theme could not be more timely. While aggressive nationalism is on the rise, many creative people see themselves as global citizens. The Venusian People Project, mentioned here recently, is a good example of artists demonstrating the absurdity of organizing states in the face of global threats.
Among the works on display is a photomontage by Gerald Jatzek, that uses a military cemetery to depict the recurring tragedy that results from the combination of imperialism, chauvinism, and subservience.
The contributions that arrived in Chile were collected by the students and will be on display on May 31st in Quinta Normal, a community in the metropolitan area of Santiago.
*) Broma Arte Correo was founded in 2016. In its early days, Broma began with the participation of Italo García and Claudio Lozano, both teachers and artists. Later, mosaic artist Belén Morales took on responsibilities within the project.
