ABOUT
Proactive project where I worked with Gay Times Magazine to create ‘The Flag We Shouldn't Be Proud Of’ for World Suicide Prevention Day.
A ceremonial version of the iconic pride flag where we removed the 2 stripes (symbolising Life and Harmony) from the 6, in order to represent the 2 out of 6 young LGBTQ people who attempt suicide.
Years & Years frontman Olly Alexander debuted the flag in a film that was viewed 800k times in a single day, and ‘The Flag We Shouldn’t Be Proud Of’ flew across billboards, newspapers, blogs and from buildings in London, Liverpool and Birmingham.
