*****What is a Rhizome? Specialized underground stems that have nodes and internodes from which NEW
ROOTS emerge. Rhizomes store nutrients for the tree it stems from, while creating and reproducing new
plants from it. As QCFT Rhizome artists we nurture and support one another, while intentionally creating
growth and benefit to the communities around us.*****
