The Pen Pal Project


In an age of instant, short-form communication the art of letter writing is, perhaps, a neglected one. But it doesn’t have to be so. Exchanging letters with a pen pal can be a way of finding some slow, measured, human connection in an increasingly isolated world.

All that to say: friend-of-the-Society Claudia is looking for a pen pal. Could it be you? All you’d need is the time and inclination to engage in an exchange of letters. It can be a little odd writing to someone you don’t know… but hopefully it’s not a completely lost art!

Claudia, by the way, is creating a ghostly online exhibition inspired by IGS and Scotland in general. You can take a look here.
