Svjetlana Mimica (Croatian)
Mail art to John Held Jr., 1993
Svjetlana Mimica is a Croatian artist who participated in mail art during the Croatian War of Independence. Her correspondence describes the conditions of living during wartime and how she used mail art both to escape the severity of her surroundings and to connect to the world outside. This note passed through another mail artist, Ruud Janssen, before reaching John Held Jr., who would send her money for postage so she could continue their correspondence and her practice.
