How does un-making a flag become art? Join Kinderling Kid, Holiday when she meets Raquel Ormella to explore this question and more! Raquel Ormella is an Australian artist who uses textile, video and drawing to make art about environmental and social issues. Her artworks often resemble protest materials such as flags, banners and slogans. Raquel is particularly concerned about climate change and its effect on young people. In this episode, Raquel shows Holiday how flags can include AND exclude people; that art is about being creative and making yourself happy; and that you can even make art in bed!
