Pirate flag at the Åland Maritime Museum, one of two pirate flags that are considered authentic. The flag is about 200 years old and came to Åland from the North African Mediterranean coast, where piracy occurred right into the 19th century. It is made of cotton and was once dark brown. Now it is faded by the ravages of time, weather and wind.

A new satirical statue attributed to Banksy appears in Waterloo Place in London, England. The sculpture depicts a person in a suit marching forward off a plinth while their face is completely covered by a large, billowing flag. It is located near the Athenaeum Club and the Crimean War Memorial. | April 29, 2026 | Martin Pope | #GettyImages

Colors that you can connect with national sentiment often form the subject of Willem de Rooij's research on image and meaning. This is how he referred to the color orange in a work. Orange stands for the Netherlands because the color belongs to the royal house. But orange is also the color of clothing worn by political prisoners in Guantánamo Bay, the disputed American detention center in Cuba. So it depends on who 'reads' the color and in what context it happens. Red-white-blue, the Dutch tricolor, also refers to feelings of national attachment. In a society where inequality and exclusion are at the center of the debate, some, however, wonder who the national tricolor is actually waving at. The Red, with its 'Negative Flag', refers to the current moment, in which social and political relations are being minted again. He has turned the red-white-blue into photographic color negative with a reverse version of the Dutch flag as a result. The Red characterizes the image itself as "a nostalgic representation of a symbol of nostalgia. ”
