IGFM: VIP
(Very Important Stamps)

Iran, Cuba, China, Saudi Arabia – all over the world human rights activists are imprisoned by repressive regimes. One way to protect them from torture and repression is mail from abroad. It shows prison staff that the world is watching. International Society For Human Rights (ISHR), wanted to raise awareness and generate letters to amplify said effect on prison guards.

Agency: Kolle Rebbe
Year: 2021

Idea

We collaborated with artists, resulting in 10 unique portraits of prisoners that were turned into official stamps by a service of German Mail. The artists shared their portraits, the prisoners’ stories, and the actual stamps with their communities. Further artists, like world-famous illustrator Christoph Niemann, supported the initiative, calling people to order the free stamps and write to the prisoners.
