PANGEA

LETTERS

Pangea in Love is more than a festival. It is a social and progressive movement which stands for solidarity, humanism, peace, togetherness and diversity. We are all part of humankind and we are all connected. We want to bring the world together and send a clear message of what we stand for. We are going to symbolise this with a participative performance by sending humanistic and supportive anonymous letters all around the world.

How much impact we’re going to cause is up to you.

We are collecting random addresses from all over the world, at least one address per country. We are going to prepare the envelopes, and it is up to you to write an anonymous letter to the country and the person of your choice. The content is entirely private, but we want you to share an intimate and emotional expression. The idea is to make the receiver feel reinforced and, in some way, supported and loved.

It could be something like this:

@Dear stranger from Algeria,

I am using this opportunity to recognise that even if I do not know you, we have already so much in common. Both of us want to feel happy and have the need to be appreciated and loved.

I too am struggling, for example with my girlfriend, but I suppose that this sounds quite stupid to you,.., etc,… bla bla bla, etc.

The envelopes and letter template will be prepared in advance. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT HERE

We would appreciate it if you could already write the letter at home. It will of course also be possible to write the letter on site.

It will be YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to write the letter and to put it in a special box on the Festival site.

The letters will be sent WITHOUT STAMPS and just be passed FROM ONE PERSON TO THE NEXT until they reach their destination. The first posting will start on Sunday at the festival.

We thought that this is the strongest way to symbolise and communicate hope and connection of mankind without barriers, even though many letters may not reach their destination. The message will reach the person that was meant to read it.

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE AND I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND THE SYMBOLIC POWER IN A WORLD LED BY SEPARATION, INDIVIDUALISM AND SELFISHNESS.
