Description
Collection of the dandelion root
The collection of dandelion roots was the first action that the artist Ju Hyun LEE proposed in the districts of Planoise and Clairs-Soleils during the summer period of July and August 2021.
Starting with the making of a “DANDELION” T-shirt to go harvesting with Ju, the residents of the neighborhood were invited to discover how to make dandelion coffee, from roasting to processing the roots. The participants then came back to taste it in September, during a “Café sauvage”, thanks to the coupon that was offered to them!
