Flags are an important component of the exhibition Statecraft (and beyond)<\/em>. They are the image most of us will recognize even without knowing or having ever visiting the country they represent. Flags aim to allude to the values and history of countries\/states through their colours and designs. With over 195 flags representing all the countries of the world, few of us can recognise every single one.\u00a0 Flags, which are symbols that aim to reinforce the national identity of a state, simultaneously are able to unite as well as divide, thus constituting objects of worship and hate.<\/p>\n

Artists Navine G. Dossos and Nektarios Pappas will lead a creative workshop titled \u201cFictional Flags for Ideal States\u201d within the framework of the exhibition Statecraft (and beyond<\/em>) at the National Museum of Contemporary Art | \u0395\u039c\u03a3\u03a4.<\/p>\n

Through the use of collage and screen printing, the workshop will look at the symbolic meanings and designs of flags, spurring participants to think about creating flags of their own personal fictional countries and states \u2013 expressing their values, geography and the people who inhabit them. The workshop will, among other things, look into the most popular colours and what they mean, and explore some of the most common shapes and geometrical forms, bringing together new combinations that are playful and political, with an emphasis on climate and ecology in particular.<\/p>\n
