In collaboration with the Emancipated Stories Project, this installation reimagines the post office as a space to have a moment of reflection and connection with someone else’s story. Emancipated Post Office invites passersby to read through the stories of people who have been affected by incarceration, of people who often feel impenetrably separated from the rest of society, and to write meaningful letters in response. The centerpiece of the installation is the optimistic yellow Emancipated Post Office mailbox where people on the “outside” can place their response letters - all of which will be mailed to the original letter writers on the “inside”. This project is also activated by letter readings, musical performances, and panel discussions.
