Due date: April 10
Withdraw date: just let me know before the due date
Number of cards: 3:3 or 6:6, if more than 7 players
Number of players: 20
Media: open, with a real Black culture or heritage postage stamp (see details below)
For this swap, you will need to dig through your postage stamp stash for stamps featuring Black culture/cultural practices, arts and dance, history and heritage, holidays, events, people, political figures, national heroes, entertainers, athletes, etc. Stamps from all over the world can be included. some countries produce more than others. African nations, Caribbean nations, and the USA have the best variety. Your stamp does not have to say "black heritage" on it. Each year, Canada Post issues a black heritage stamp. This year it is Mathieu De Costa, the first named person of African heritage to reach Canada.
Check out the gallery from last year: Black Heritage and Culture Postage Stamps 2016

1. Each card should feature at least one real Black heritage/culture postage stamp, what you do with the rest of the card is your choice...mixed media, extending the scene, adding quotes or found poetry all could be fun!
