i want to make a sewing piece with flowers from different liberation movements — e.g. lavender for queers, poppy for Palestine...
anyone have information on flowers linked to other movements / cultures? For instance, Black liberation or Latin American / Indigenous liberation?
#rn i'm thinking of doing a rose for Indigenous America because they#are native to here + are meaningful to various cultures#+ they make me think of Latin American liberation theology bc of their association with our lady of guadalupe#and the flower of a black-eyed pea for Black liberation because enslaved Africans were able to bring those plants with them#to the americas and nourish themselves with that memory of home#could also do sunflowers as an important staple crop to many Native American cultures (“the fourth sister”)#plus apparently sunflowers were used in some feminist movements? but i'll have to look into which ones Just In Case#averygaypost
