To the Earth’s trees, with love
In late 2025, with the climate crisis getting harder to ignore, we sent out a global call to artists all over. If trees could talk, what would they say? We asked artists to answer that question on a postcard, and then mail it to us.
That was it.
Honestly, at first we didn’t know if anyone outside our circle of local artists would respond. We weren’t even sure the call would reach people outside the Philippines in the first place. It felt a little like sending a message in a bottle.
Happily, respond they did.
We’ve now received more than 500 postcards from over 55 countries across all continents. What started as a question has turned into a global conversation. Read more →
