Banana Rag

This subseries is made up of Banana’s long running Banana Rag newsletter, which she began in 1971 to provide the general public with information about her activities as Victoria Town Fool. Over the years, it became a means for her to provide information about her mail art activities, and the newsletter itself became a central part of her network presence. It also provided subscribers with information about other mail art opportunities, trends, or exhibitions.

This subseries contains copies of the newsletters, as well as an inventory of the newsletters, some original markups and pasteups, and information about subscribers.

Bananology and other certificates

Subseries originates with Banana’s earliest performance art while she was Victoria’s Town Fool. It consists of various certificates in bananology (including bachelors and masters degrees) which Anna would give out to individuals who had “Gone Bananas”, often after providing Anna with a piece of Banana paraphernalia or a Banana-related fact or story. This activity often took place within the context of her mail art actions, where she would mail the certificates back to networkers who had provided her with banana-related mail. However, it began while she was still Town Fool, prior to or concurrent with her entry into the mail art network.

The subseries consists almost entirely of various certificates, as well as letters to correspondents.
