LAND 2023

'LAND'

 

Thanks to Dumfries & Galloway Councils Regional Arts Fund, you're invited to take part in an exciting environmental art projest, now in its third year.

 

Climate change is our new reality, to take action and give voice to your hopes, fears and visions for the future. A flag designer is called a vexillographer. By submitting your design, you're taking action on climate change and that makes you are a vexillographic climate activist, congratulations.

What will happen to my

design?

Your design will be included in the growing archive collection that captures current feeling about climate change. Many designs are made into large flags. When these flags fly together, they create a stunning display that sends out our collective messages. These will fly over the coming years at venues around the country and further afield.

Large flags and their meanings will appear on our website and be part of a book “Environmental Distress Signal Flags”.
