IMAGINED TERRITORIES is now open!
Reimagining the flag as a symbol of connection rather than division, IMAGINED TERRITOREIES is a new public intervention by artist and designer Andy Welland flying proudly above The Art House.
This flag, is for everyone, and for no one.
The work responds to a moment in which flags have become increasingly visible and contested across Britain, raised on buildings and roundabouts, often carrying complex and conflicting meanings of pride, fear, belonging and exclusion.
IMAGINED TERRITORIES asks what pride, identity and belonging mean today. Installed above the entrance of The Art House – a proud Studio and Gallery of Sanctuary, a creative hub and civic space committed to welcome, inclusion and safety for all – the work invites us all to consider who and what we stand for.
