The Banner Project
On July 20, 2013, The Banner Project started. The concept of the project was to raise or hang flags around the city of Miami as art installations. The first flag was raised over Julia Tuttle Causeway. The size of the banner (10 ft x 16 ft ) of synthetic fabric and painted with latex paint , featuring a black and white image of a police in riot gear, with a red clandestine culture sign stamped at the botton. It was raised on a High-mast lighting, at a height of 30 Metre (98 ft). The method used to raise the flag has never been revealed. A waving flag remained for five days, until it was removed by the Florida Highway Patrol. By the summer of 2014 another The Banner Project took place, this time in the Miami Marine Stadium. The size and materials were similar to the one used on the Julia Tuttle Causeway. Approaching December of the same year, Culture acted again, on this occasion in front of the Miami Beach Convention Center, during Art Basel Miami Beach 2014. Since then no other flag has been placed in the area of Miami.
