We started to research relevant, global, and current facts and, thus, came up with the idea to put new meanings to the colours of the flags. We used real data taken from the websites of Amnesty International and the UNO.The campaign has been running in Portugal since January 2005. There are eight flags that portray very current topics like the division of opinions about the war in Iraq in the United States, the violence against women in Africa, the social inequality in Brazil, the drug trafficking in Columbia, Aids and malaria in Angola, etc.

2005年1月,这项运动首发于葡萄牙。全套设计共8面旗帜,描绘了当下最热门的话题:美国人民对伊拉克战争的不同看法,非洲对妇女的虐待情况,巴西的贫富不均状况(其实在中国这种差距也极大),哥伦比亚贩毒的猖獗,安哥拉的艾滋病和疟疾病情等。
