Flags are strong political symbols that are taken up in artistic works in a variety of ways. They stand for communal convictions and values, emphasize national sovereignty, mark territorial borders, include and exclude. But flags are also used for protest and resistance.

Questions about our different ideas of identity, nation, and origin come into view.
