It explored the idea of saying one thing while covertly communicating another. The participating students developed projects that investigated this theme within the framework of feminism, communicating their findings through coded visual language. By delving into the dual nature of floriography (the language of flowers), students from both institutions formed collaborative teams: MA students from the\u00a0<em>Spaces and Communication<\/em>\u00a0programme at HEAD \u2013 Gen\u00e8ve, and BA and MA students from the\u00a0<em>Department of Industrial and Applied Arts<\/em>\u00a0and the\u00a0<em>Department of Visual Communication Design<\/em>\u00a0at UL ALUO. Working in small groups as double agents, and in the spirit of BIO28\u2019s theme\u00a0<em>Double Agent: Do You Speak Flower?<\/em>, they created floral images that convey political, feminist, and queer messages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contributors: <\/strong>Nguveren Ahua, Laur\u00e8ne Allard, L\u00e9a Campos, Marta C\u00f3rdoba Ruiz, Anes Dhif, Zoja Funda Lipnik, Nia Gomba\u010d, Maxime Heta, Nika Horvat, Domen Klinc, Sunwoo Lee, Gabriela Luchetta, Aurore Mesot, Andrija Mihailovi\u0107, Sven Odermatt, Eva Popit, Marjana Raspor, Lou Revel, Franciszek Sienkiewicz, Marc-Arthur Sohna, Marko \u0160krbi\u0107, \u010crt \u0160trubelj, Rin Togo, \u017diva Vaukan, Nika Vidnjevi\u010d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mentors: <\/strong><em>Project Denton<\/em> was led by <strong>dr.
