Embrace your Empathy! is a two-part project commissioned by Flow Festival for Gustafsson&Haapoja as the festivals’ artists of the year 2016. The playful project consists of flags of nation states modified to include images of animals culturally or biologically important to the region, and a 7-minute animation based on a manifesto for interspecies coexistence.
