A Global SUNFLOWER AR:T Installation

As we plant the seeds for recovery, let us #blossomBC. For the first time in digital history the world is experiencing a global sense of individual and community “internment”, together. As the world emerges, The Sunflower Project campaign is a movement and a connector of #PeoplePlacePlanet.
The project uses a past and present lens to commemorate the internment plight of all nations in the history of Canada. A cross country act of connected planting, to shed light on the strength and resilience of all who toiled to build a strong Canadian future. And today we as a collective community invite everyone to plant seeds towards the recovery of Canada. In honor of yesterday, in light of a brighter tomorrow.
The sunflower symbolizes not only strength and beauty, but the importance of food security and the creative sector, as we move towards recovery and renewal. As an act of inclusion all of Canada will be invited to contribute to a national planting campaign and tag

“Like the sunflowers in the field when the light fades, we can turn to each other to gain connected strength.
For my immigrant grandparents,
who were interned during
World War One in Canada,
let the sun shine on your faces.
And to my grandchildren, make your tomorrow be better than today!”
