Flag in the Map: Charting Rainbow Flag Stories | Exhibit Opening

Flag in the Map is a growing collection of photographs and stories that reaffirms the universal power of the Rainbow Flag to inspire LGBTQ+ people – especially in countries where their everyday existence is threatened. A collaboration between the Gilbert Baker Foundation and ReportOUT, Flag in the Map was launched in October 2020. The two organizations put out an open call across the world, asking for submissions of photos of people flying their Pride Flags. The resulting images came in from scores of countries and were curated for an emotionally powerful book. A selection of photographs was also mounted for an impressive public exhibition. As of this date exhibitions have been launched in the U.K. and Europe. Two were held in New York, including a summer-long outdoor exhibition at Stonewall National Park and the latest at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
