The Flag is not the Territory is an interrogation that challenges our current dominant narratives and understandings of nationality and nationhood. By appropriating and subverting existing graphic systems, a new visual language is created that champions diversity and otherness. By facilitating a collective based response from four individuals, this new ‘counter-sign’ system of the designed vessel, the Flag and the Passport, highlights both celebration and fallacy within individual experiences of Aotearoa, New Zealand’s nationalism.
