The Dandelion International Poster & Cartoon Festival is an independent, global artistic initiative created to revisit human narratives that have been overshadowed by political noise and fleeting headlines.
The festival’s mission is to offer a space where artists from around the world can express themes of resistance, resilience, human dignity, and shared experiences through the language of visual art.
By inviting artists from diverse disciplines, the festival seeks to highlight stories that transcend geographical boundaries and reflect deeper social and human realities. In this context, the figure of Martyr Haj Qasem Soleimani stands as an inspiring example of sacrifice, responsibility, protection of people, and confronting terrorism. His legacy forms one of the conceptual pillars that gives the festival’s artistic vision a clear human and ethical dimension.
Dandelion focuses on poster art, cartooning, and AI-based visual works, aiming to open new horizons that reveal the hidden layers of our contemporary world. The festival is built on principles of artistic integrity, cultural dialogue, and international cooperation, creating a space where artists from different cultures and traditions can contribute to strengthening mutual understanding and building bridges between communities.
Our commitment lies in supporting artists, fostering creativity, and establishing a platform where humanity and ethical values form the foundation of inspiration and the shaping of the future.
