Last summer, Uruguayan mail artist
Clemente Padin issued a mail call (deadline: November 30, 2013) for art
commemorating the fortieth anniversary of the anti-democratic coup d'état that
installed a military government in Uruguay. This government imprisoned Padin
for several years in retaliation for Padin's mail art criticizing the
government and its American supporters. Cascadia Artpost recognizes this
anniversary and salutes the art of Clemente Padin through the issuance of a
"No Más Dictaduras" ("No More Dictatorship") artistamp and
commemorative postcard.
