Project organizer Jennie Hinchcliff (Red Letter Day) has been involved in the correspondence art community since 1996. Her early zine Everyday Should Be A Red Letter Day focused on mail artists, collaborative projects, and Networkers in the scene.
Hinchcliff is a co-author of the book Good Mail Day: A Primer for Eye-Popping Post (2009) and produced the mail art event Ex Postal Facto (2014). She founded the San Francisco Correspondence Co-op in 2011 and has organized numerous mail art exhibitions and events. She regularly presents and writes about mail art, postal Networkers, and related topics.
Feministo 2024 is her latest project, seeking to connect female and female-identifying correspondence artists while sharing their stories and experiences in the mail art community. Physical documentation (shown below) is given to participants in exchange for filling out The Questionnaire.
