'Here Be Dragons: A New British Flag' by Rosie Scribblah

Here Be Dragons – dangerous or unknown territory! Art 50 commissioned Welsh print-maker Rosie Scribblah to create a take on the Union Jack, which recognises Wales this time.

''Creating a new UK flag is opening up a can of 'wurms,' a seething mess of intense political opinions, divisions and conflicts, ancient and modern, questioning the nature of what Britishness is. Does the UK even exist anymore or is it a fractured hurly burly of ancient and modern tribes who inhabit a small set of islands on the western fringes of Europe? ''

Welsh, working class, feminist artist and printmaker, Rosie Scribblah's work has been exhibited at the Barbican and Sage, Gateshead during the Art 50 festivals in February 2019
