Flags of Inequality

Flags of Inequality is a physical data exhibit based on the digital project of the same name. This artwork is a collection of forty-nine incomplete pride flags that invite the audience to reflect on the inequalities still faced by the LGBTQ+ population of European countries.

In this artwork, we intend to visually represent data on the struggles still faced by the queer population in many European countries. This collection aims to highlight the ongoing challenges related to discrimination, legal inequalities, and social acceptance that LGBTQ+ individuals encounter daily. Through art and a familiar symbol, the visual representation of this data helps empathize and raise awareness.
