The Flag Project 2021 is a public art installation celebrating New York in photographs. Members of the public were invited to submit photographs inspired by the city, with 83 winning submissions chosen by Aperture executive director Chris Boot produced as flags and flown from the iconic flagpoles of Rockefeller Plaza. The installation will also feature flags by guest photographers invited by Aperture, who have helped define New York in photographs, including Kwame Brathwaite, Renee Cox, Roe Ethridge, Elliott Erwitt, Nan Goldin, Ryan McGinley, Susan Meiselas, Duane Michals and Tyler Mitchell. This is the second iteration of The Flag Project, Tishman Speyer’s first crowdsourced public art initiative.
