English: In late 2014 the British / Israeli artist Gil Mualem-Doron proposed to replace the Union Jack with a flag that represents the UK’s cultural diversity. The proposal pointed out the problem with the Union Jack’s association with Britain’s colonial legacy and was created at a time of increasing racism and xenophobia during and after the Brexit campaign. The “New Union Flag” keeps the Union Jack design layout but replaces its colours with the traditional textile designs of UK’s citizens from various national and ethnic backgrounds. Dr Mualem-Doron proposed that the flag be ever-changing, updating each year the textile designs to reflect the ever-increasing diversity as new immigrants arrive in the UK. The New Union Flag art project has already engaged ten of thousands of people through processions in rallies and festivals, online events, workshops in schools and art spaces and interactive installations in galleries and museums, among them Tate Exchange, the South Bank Centre, Turner Contemporary, the Jewish Museum, The People’s History Museum, Rich Mixed and Peckham Platform.
