Postcards to the Future asks: 'What would you want to share with the future about your life today?' * Oregon ArtsWatch

For Sund, who immigrated from El Salvador to the U.S. during El Salvador's political turmoil in the 1980s, the postcard project was inspired by a desire for people to speak up about the political situation in the U.S. today. "We should be honest about how we feel," said Sund, a U.S. citizen. "There are people who are not happy with this administration, and so they should say what bothers them. For me, this country has been so great, and for many people this has been such a wonderful country full of so many promises - if you work hard, you make it. Now, it's not like that. It's different."
