Here is the translation, also because Samir and Marianne are some of my friends. He's from Egypt and she's Belgian Jewish. So already in their own relationship they are a bridge and hope for humankind.
The Tamary was a center they used to run in Li�ge and later in Brussels. They did several mail art projects in the past (Egypt / Civilizations) and were also open to projects from others. For instance in the Tamary in Li�ge happened artist book workshops when Lavona Sherarts (USA) visited Belgium. In the Tamary in Brussels happened the exhbition of my own mail art project Friour for refugees during my 50th birthday party. At that time Geert and other mail art visitors met Marianne but Samir was already in Egypt. We had a phone contact twice during the exhibition and the party (60 guests) Guido Vermeulen, Belgium Translated INFO: Human being and civilizations mail art project Free size and medium.
