“Anarchists know that a long period of education must precede any great fundamental change in society, hence they do not believe in vote-begging, nor political campaigns, but rather in the development of self-thinking individuals.” – Lucy Parsons
This is the first page of Glowing, a six page sequence illustrating an excerpt from “The Principles of Anarchism”, by Lucy Parsons. Glowing is the third work in the Subterranean series.
The quoted words emerge from a flower as it disperses its seeds, travel through rain as seeds begin to germinate underground, emerge with roots and flower buds, and blossom into glowing flowers in full bloom.
There is a hand-lettered caption:
Excerpt from “The Principles of Anarchism” by Lucy Parsons. Illustrated by Calends of April. kolektiva.social/@calendofapril calendsofapril.com/glowing.
The flowers and seeds are red with sketchy black outlines, the soil is black, and the background is gray. In the section about not vote-begging, there is an indistinct glimpse of an object with stars and lettering. The caption includes a circle-A for anarchism.
