Postcards from the North 

During COVID-19, Penelope Bartlau and collaborating artist Klari Agar created Postcards from the North.
At a time of social distancing, Postcards from the North was a virtual hug. Centred around Melbourne’s inner North, the project generated a series of six locative post-card artworks, inviting the reader/recipient to feel joy and delight as they share a gentle, moving, intimate short story-poem. Each postcard is a heart-warmer, aimed to make us all feel closer and more connected in the discombobulation that 2020 was.
Suggestions and ideas for the six postcards were gathered from the community online. Penelope and Klari developed six different postcards through a creative mashing of the community’s images and stories. Once completed, the postcard series was delivered online and also in hardcopy, which were distributed to the community.
Postcards from the North was inclusive, social and and collaborative art.
