Colours to the Mast

In collaboration with artists Kazna Asker and Cheelo, The Bare Project presents a participatory flag-making workshop exploring identity, protest, and belonging.

Through discussion and hands-on making, participants will design flags inspired by global textile traditions, creating symbols of hope, courage, and connection. Responding to the divisive use of the St George’s flag, this project reclaims public space with inclusive narratives.

Later in 2026, the collaboratively created flags will guide audiences to the Common Threads Festival, celebrating women’s cultural heritage and community in Sheffield.
