FAIRYTALES

Deadline: [new deadline] - 2025-10-31
Submission address Marise Piloto | CP 18 | CAP:30173 CAMPALTO | VENEZIA, ITALIA
Description: “The short story offers a model for life, a life-giving and encouraging model that remains in the unconscious containing all the positive possibilities of life.” - Marie-Louise von Franz
Fairy tales were and are part of the childhood of many of us and are still found today in oral traditions as well as in literary works. I'm an art therapist and I'm passionate about these narratives! For years, I've been using fairy tales as an important and powerful tool in my work as an art therapist. Creating Art Mail with the theme of Fairy Tales will be a return to the memories of the past and an opportunity to reread a familiar story with a new narrative, after all, stories vary according to the historical and geographical context. I invite anyone and everyone interested to take part in this call, collaborating in putting together a collection of Fairy Tale-themed mail art for use in studies and research.
