Flags of Revolt and Defiance

85

“Polly Apfelbaum's project at the Neiman Center, Flags of Revolt and Defiance, is a portfolio of 31 color screenprints that take the form of emblematic flags. Inspired by an installation work presented at the Lodz Biennale in 2004, Apfelbaum selected a group of flags that represent revolutionary cultural and political movements throughout history. Some are highly recognizable images such as the Black Panther Party flag and LGBT pride rainbow spectrum while others are more obscure. To create a new system of symbols, Apfelbaum superimposed her own iconic pop flower shape on each flag. ”
