PORTUGUESE ARTISTS GIVE FLAGS NEW MEANINGS
A team of artists in Lisbon have produced the "flags campaign" which researches relevant global and current facts. They put new meanings to the colors of the flags using real data taken from the websites of Amnesty International and the UNO. The campaign has been running in Portugal since January 2005. There are eight flags that portray very current topics like the division of opinions about the war in Iraq in the United States, the violence against women in Africa, the social inequality in Brazil, the drug trafficking in Columbia, Aids and malaria in Angola, etc
