A Dandelion... Why?

In the meanings given to the dandelion we recognize the scope of our project:

 

  • hope that opens up a horizon of cultural equitability
     

  • resilience since dandelion roots are noted for their resilience and persistence - even if all the leaves are taken off the flower still comes back

  • freedom that comes from the civic duty of creating critical and relevant information
     

  • optimism that emerges from the ethical, moral commitment with social justice - the dandelion yellow flower is the brightest in the urban environment in which they can thrive and metamorphose into a thousand parachutes, each with possibilities and ideas

Dandelions and Children's Games...

 

Picking up a dandelion flower 

blowing away its seeds

following their scattered flight 

and laughing with their swinging

Now waving them goodbye

because somewhere else is welcoming those seeds.

​

​

The dandelion recalls us of children’s games driven by multiple possibilities, generative and transformational.
