Overview
Inspired by SB14 artist Lee Mingwei’s The Letter Writing Project, participants in this workshop will be introduced to the postal system in the UAE and learn the step-by-step process of sending a postcard via snail mail. Starting with a walk to capture the best of #SAFneighbourhood through photography, participants will then use their favourite photographs to personalise their postcards and dedicate them to new pen-pals with the use of a random mail address generator
