“Toozalii” Community Arts International Artists, UK

Bridging cultures with flags and artful fun

Many festivals have flags. Not so many have flags that were drawn in pencil by audience members, taken to the other side of the world by artists, and then colored, painted and turned into silk by students and minority groups.

Our flags have already seen many hundreds of thousands of sets of eyes. As they meet yours, maybe you will think about different times and different places. Or maybe you will just enjoy the display.

Their efforts on social inclusion and community involvement gained Toozalii an audience at the UK’s 10 Downing Street. That, too was a different time and different place.
