Event Details

This workshop runs over consecutive days 2-5pm

Climate change is our new reality. How is this affecting you? Do you imagine a positive future or perhaps you’re worried? Can one person make a difference? To explore these questions, take action and give voice to your vision, hopes and fears, you’re invited to be part of the ‘LAND’ art project.

‘LAND’ artists are running Flag Design & Make workshops around the region. Flags are used to communicate and your flag will join a growing collection from Dumfries and Galloway.

At venues and events these large fabric flags will fly all together, carrying a spectacular and powerful environmental message from the community.

Flag flying locations; Nithraid Dumfries13 Aug, Kirkcudbright Arts and Craft Trail 29 July-1 Aug, COP27- Egypt. Annan Harbour 14 Aug on a tall ship, Buckie Harbour- Moray 23 Sept.

A flag designer is called a vexillographer. By taking part, you’re taking action on climate change; that makes you are a vexillographic climate activist, congratulations.

We welcome everyone including families and especially those aged between 13 and 26.

Your flag design matters and will be added to an archive, recording sentiment from this point in history
