In a world where human faces are often erased beneath political noise, the Dandelion International Festival emerges as an initiative to revisit the stories whose voices have faded behind headlines and the clamor of events.
This artistic event, grounded in humanity, life, resistance, simplicity, and the depth of real human experience, invites artists from around the world to rediscover forgotten or distorted faces and present them anew through the language of art.
The new edition includes four independent categories, and artists may participate in any of them:
