FLY THE FLAG | SKY ARTS

In 2020, Fly The Flag focused on Article 25 in a year marked by health concerns and economic deprivation. Many people in the UK were deeply affected as the pandemic highlighted and exacerbated the plight of those unable to access their human right to food, shelter, healthcare, and social protections.

Fly The Flag’s cohort of art organisations and human rights charities commissioned over 30 poets to respond to Article 25, see here. Through these poems we came together to remember the importance of sharing, knowing and protecting our human rights.

This year, Fly The Flag highlights Article 19 – the right to freedom of opinion and expression – in an ambitious new project created by choreographer Oona Doherty alongside four associate artists. This large-scale engagement programme is produced by Fuel in partnership with Eden Court Highlands, The MAC, Sadler’s Wells and Wales Millennium Centre, and in association with Belfast International Arts Festival. It will culminate with the release of a new film created by young people across the four nations of the UK, broadcast by Sky Arts on 10 December, Human Rights Day.
