Under the premise of no money | no selection | not sworn | non-return 207 postal artists from 26 countries have participated in the II MIDECIANT Mail Art call with more than 300 works from Germany, Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Belarus, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Croatia, Cuba, Spain, Finland, France, Holland, Italy, Japan, Macedonia, Mexico, Montenegro, Portugal, United Kingdom, Romania, Sweden, Turkey, Uruguay, USA.

This II call is dedicated to the artist, poet, performer, novelist, magazine editor and playwright, Nel Amaro (1946-2011). Committed artist, considered a "cultural agitator", defender of the asturian language and the working classes. He brought visual poetry to Asturias, a visual poetry that "has an unbreakable root of commitment to its environment and historical time, that of convulsed proletarian workerism, to which it never turned its back, no matter how complex the context was" (José L. Campal)

In 2021, MIDE-CIANT-UCLM received an important donation of her work from Marta Vaquero; this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to present and share it.
