Dakota Pipeline - USA

Mail Art against the Dakota Access Pipeline

Governor Jack Dalrymple, 600 East Boulevard Ave, Bismarck, ND 58505-0100

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has been locked in a legal battle to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline from impacting it’s cultural, water, and natural resources. The Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) is a 1,168-mile long crude oil pipeline that will transport nearly 570,000 barrels of oil each day from North Dakota to Illinois. The Army Corps of Engineers green-lighted several sections of the process without fully satisfying the National Historic Preservation Act, various environmental statutes, and its trust responsibility to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.

The current proposed pipeline route crosses under Lake Oahe, just a half mile up from the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation.
We believe that the Dakota Access Pipeline has great potential to leak into the Missouri River and cause harm to the great people of this nation whose water and livelihood depends on the river. In Dakota/Lakota it is said: “mni Wiconi.” - Water is life. Native American people know that water is the first medicine for all life on this earth.

The proposed Dakota Access Pipeline would transport 570,000 barrels of crude oil per day, across four states. Oil companies keep telling us that this is perfectly safe, but we’ve learned that that’s a lie: from 2012-2013 alone, there were 300 oil pipeline breaks in the state of North Dakota.

Please make mail art in support of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, and against the Dakota Access Pipeline.

You can send it to
North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple,
600 East Boulevard Ave,
Bismarck, ND 58505-0100
USA

and tell him to stop the pipeline. You can also send mail art to the White House:

The President

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

Let them know that the whole world is watching!

No return. Document your mail art by posting a jpeg here on facebook:

DESAMORES - THANKS
EXPOSIÇÃO INTERNACIONAL DE ARTE POSTAL
E ARTE POR CORREIO
WWW.YZONK.COM/DESAMORES

Dear friend, ...

After touring through the north of the country, the present question is the following: And now where? We do want to have at least one more edition and the available solutions are; a visit to the south of Portugal, return to the city that has seen the project birth or go abroad to other countries. Anyways, the collection and exhibition will be always available to be presented as soon as some other home requests it. So, … since there will be one more edition, submitting artwork is still possible.
A very big thanks to all of you that made this project possible, to the artists my sincere regards and a special thanks to the artist and longtime friend Migvel Tepes as well to Fértil Cultural.

The website will be under updates for a couple of months in order to post all the most recent artwork that was presented at this last shows.

Best regards,
yours truly

... see ya in the mail ...

Caro amigo, ...

Depois de uma digressão pelo norte do país, a questão que se coloca é a seguinte: E agora aonde? Existem intenções de no mínimo se realizar mais uma edição e as soluções possíveis são; uma visita ao sul do país, regressar à cidade que viu nascer o projeto ou rumar ao estrangeiro. De qualquer das formas o espólio e exposição ficarão para sempre disponíveis aquando solicitação do mesmo. Sendo que se prevê agendar mais uma edição, a submissão das obras ainda é possível e aqui fica o regulamento para o efeito.
Um muito obrigado a todos os que tornaram este projeto possível, aos artistas um muito obrigado e um especial agradecimento ao artista Migvel Tepes e à estrutura Fértil Cultural!

O website continuará a ser atualizado durante mais um par de meses com as obras apresentadas nestas últimas edições.

os melhores cumprimentos,
Monsenhor enVide neFelibata

... vemos-nos no correio ...
