MY FRIEND
A Global Network of Artists, Poets, and Creative Minds
About the Project
Every day, we are surrounded by such a huge amount of information that people have instinctively learned to recognise potential "advertising" posts and ignore them. Therefore, do not allow your subscribers to mistake you for a 'salesperson.' Post your thoughts, sketches, and drawings in such a way that they do not appear to be promotional and do not look as if you are only here for profit or popularity. Your readers will simply stop trusting you!
People are not as naive as you think, and they will always sense whether your post comes from the heart or, on the contrary, whether the purpose of your post is money and/or your desire for popularity. Therefore, you need to try harder to increase the loyalty of your own 'brand' among your audience.
When I post your CV and your answers to my questions on camera, the path to your creativity will become more visible to people who may be interested in your work. In Finland and the Scandinavian countries, it has long been customary (since 2020, for example) to use creative video messages to seek new fans.
Participation Requirements
Under what conditions will I post information about you as my friend on my website?
First: Critical Review
You must write a critical text about my work (in your native language). I can send my works here (to your email address)... my poems have already been translated into more than 100 languages.
Second: Biography
You must send me your short biography, written in the third person. At the end of the biography, you must provide me with active links related to the information mentioned in your biography. Example: links to the educational institution where you studied your profession. Links to cultural events in which you have actively participated as a poet, writer and/or artist... and so on.
Third: Best Photo
Send me your BEST photo!!!
Fourth: Video Message
You must record a video on a video camera (e.g. on your mobile phone). In this video, you should say a few things: what do you think about poetry and art? What do poetry and art mean to you personally? Answer the following questions in your video:
- a) Recall the most vivid and brightest memory from your childhood. Tell us about this memory!
- b) What geographical point in your homeland can you call your spiritual citadel — a place where your wonderful soul touched Eternity and found wings. Tell us how and when this happened.
- c) What do you think about your native culture and its place in world culture?
- d) How do you imagine the ideal relationship between science, religion, philosophy and... morality?
- e) Humanity has always strived for order and reason. And today, reason prevails over sensuality. Traditions are rejected as unnecessary baggage, and the world is being devalued. What is the 'small' world of the inhabitants of the settlement where you live?
- f) If you were asked to keep a diary of modern life, reflecting the dynamics of contemporary social processes, what would you focus on first? How is a new history unfolding before YOU?
Each video should not be longer than 3 minutes!
How to Submit
PLEASE SEND ME 7 LETTERS CONTAINING INFORMATION ABOUT ALL OF THE ABOVE (as mentioned earlier in the text) AND MY WISHES.
