In 1989, Janet curated South African Mail: Messages from Inside with the support of the UN Special Committee Against Apartheid and traveled to South Africa.  Working with artists groups in Johannesburg and Cape Town, the result is an exhibition reflecting the life circumstances, hopes and dreams of over 200 South African women of all races.

The exhibition includes 400 unique postcard-sized works–paintings, photographs, drawings, prints, beadwork, collages, reliefs, and written statements.  The exhibition is toured for several years in the US.  When possible I accompanied the show to present a slide lecture to augment and contexturalize the exhibition.  A catalogue of the exhibition is available.
