Buried Letter Press Manifesto July August 2014

BURIED LETTER PRESS

is an attempt to resurrect the art of conversation, to find the lost voices of society, and bring to light a new consciousness. We believe letters illuminate the lives of those who speak through them, and that, too often, these letters get buried, silenced, forgotten. We want to dig up the buried letter and sing it out. We believe conversation is a means for real change, and we think that both art and criticism give us opportunity for dialogue. We believe that art is criticism and vice-versa. We believe art shouldn’t be kept in the penitentiary of the institution, the machine of consumerism. No, art and criticism belong to the people. This is one voice among the vox populi. We believe in a multitude of minds, speaking in a myriad of voices, and we believe everyone should be allowed to speak up. We believe that open discussion is the beginning of freedom, and we want to lift latches, turn keys, and open doors. Our mission is to deliver news, commentary, criticism, art, experimentations, expressions, meaningful work from all over the world for people all over the world. The magazine is free, alive, and human.
