Repost from @musicforyourinbox
Our mail art this month is created by @sensei_aishitemasu , an artist, cultural critic, filmmaker, and writer whose work explores race, pop culture, social justice, political activism, and sociopolitical theories. We met Seren through @humanresourcesla ‘s Time Space Money residency, where she created two films, The [Black] Americans EXTRAS: Detroit and Five Years Since Ferguson. As we worked on Carolyn Chen’s piece for this month’s release and thought about the question of “how to assemble,” we realized Seren’s work in art, community building, and activist organization was an important extension to that question.
Seren has created an incredible piece of mail art that reimagines a paper fortune teller toy. Titled “How to assemble… a future,” it juxtaposes the childhood experience of hopefully dreaming about the future with adult contemplations about the future, which are oftentimes accompanied by a sense of dread.
We’re so honored to have her work in this month’s release and super excited to send it to you! #serensesei #activismasart #theblackamericans #paperarts #crafts #visualart #mailart #visualartist #fortuneteller #handmade #buildafuture
